Just got her out of storage of about 4 months. Everything checks out (oil pressure, temps, voltage, etc) except....

I cant put the car in reverse. Drove around for a good hour and still no reverse gear.

Anybody got an idea!?

Won't go into reverse or goes into reverse but won't move?

Wont go into reverse. all the other gears appear to work ok.

I am still new to the C5 but like most standard tranny's I have found when our MN6 gets cantankerous about going into reverse...I can slip the clutch in first and rock it forward just a tad, then slip it into reverse. Usually gets better when warmed up... probably Synchronizers
Possibly a new or different fluid would help with shifting.
If you haven't done it, the Venom mod might help?
I am in the process of learning more about these cars and their quirks and fixes... so take what I am saying with a grain of salt till you get conformation on what to do...I like thinking out loud and this is part of my "hands on" learning experience, but would hate leading someone down the wrong path.

Those were my thoughts as well. Drove for a solid hour to charge the battery and get the tranny warmed up but its a solid lock out on reverse.

Well, I'll wait with you for one of the many very knowledgeable guys on this forum to give you direction... someone will know!

Interesting thanks. This is out of my wheelhouse since my shoulder surgery but I see what the dealship has to say.
