C5 difficult to put in reverse
It seems like its getting worse. My M6 C5 doesn't want to go in reverse. I try re-engaging the clutch and it doesn't help. Any ideas? :confused:

When my 6 speed was getting difficult to get into reverse, I found if I put it in 3rd first it would then go into reverse fairly easily.

This is what works for me. Put trans in 1st shift to 2nd then over to reverse. I don't ever have any problems when doing this.

The problem is probably adjustment on the shaft that goes back to trans.
If you are a DIY guy email me and I will send you instructions.

Do you have the crappy stock shifter?
Mine gave me problems finding reverse.
Replaced it with a Hurst and ALL problems are gone.
Positive shifts so you always know what gear you are in.
No missed shifts to 3rd.
No binding while shifting in a corner.
Goes right into reverse like it should.
The Hurst rocks.
Best mod for the $$
