reverse problems
when heated up my 86 (man trans - doug nash 4+3) has a problem in reverse, if I lock the wheels (turn right hard) there is a noticeable whirring sound and sounds if something is slipping. I tried to back up a hill and the car would not move in gear. In forward gears the clutch feels solid with no signs of slippage.
Any Ideas what it could be?
Thanks,
Tom

The carrier had been blown on this unit which creates excessive direct clutch clearance, thus the failure."...
