Reverse....Mine pops out, common??
Since the day I bought my Z the original said, " always keep your hand on the shifter in reverse because it pops out of gear when the car is cold". This thing always pops out of reverse no matter if the car is warm or cold. As soon as I dont apply pressure the the shifter it will pop out. I just wanted to see if this was common or not. Not too big of a deal as the car will stay in reverse with forward pressure applied.

Not common.....
Mine started doing this as well a year ago....
Would go into gear without any problem but would pop at any time under load going in reverse...
Turns out it was a syncros problem !
Easy fix while the new motor is going in

Yep, I always make sure the car is fully engaged in reverse. As soon as a load is applied without forward pressure it will pop out. I figured it was a syncro problem, just not ready to drop the trans just yet. All other gears are fine though.
