Reverse
Hello,
I am sure this has been asked a bunch of times but I have nothing but trouble puting it in reverse, unless I am rolling backwards. Is there some type of trick to this because I do not want to keep trying to force it in there. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I have the same problem once in a while so here's what works for me;
clutch down, pull shifter into 2nd gear and then into reverse. Works for me every time. There is something about second gear and reverse that makes it work but don't ask me why....the guys on the forum who know about manual gearboxes will know the answer.

this work when putting into first also.
