Stall in Reverse Gear - What's going on?
*** PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
I just got my car back from the body shop. It's looking awesome. It's painted silver off of a
2007 Lexus which is very similar to it's original color. I included a pic for your viewing pleasure. I'm almost done restoring my father's car. Wish he was here to take me for one more ride in it...
Anyhow, I brought it home and have noticed that it's not easy to put the car into reverse (Muncie transmission). It wants to stall every time I release the clutch. It has also stalled once just by putting it into reverse gear without even releasing the clutch. It will engage and move a little but it's difficult to do so because the RPM drops so slow as soon as I start releasing the clutch. I really hope it was nothing the shop did. It was driving fine before I dropped it off. The car will go into 1st gear and the rest of them just fine. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hahaha, sorry guys.... I answered elsewhere. Don't ask me how this works out but it was my battery wire coming in contact with my tach wire at my coil. I have no clue why it only seemed to affect my car when I tried to put it into reverse. It's things like this that get frustrated when I work on cars.

The paint looks great. I also have a silver '79 that's due back from the painter next week. I debated over staying with the original color, but finally decided on going a little darker. I'll be posting a photo soon.
