reverse gear issues - please help
Around the time I put in my monster clutch in this summer, I've been having trouble putting my 2006 MN6 into reverse. I've tried the shifter adjust, no dice. I also tried checking the reverse lockout solenoid but it looks to be a job to take it out. I also bled the clutch again, still no dice.
The symptoms are quite different from all other reverse gear problems I've had with my past vettes (notably reverse kicking out on my 2002 MN6, turned out I had a bent fork).
When I'm stopped, I have to put it in first, with the brake on, roll against the brake a little, then it'll pop right into reverse.
Also, while on jackstands, when in neutral (after trying to get it into reverse) my buddy simply rolled the rear wheel backwards a little, then i could pop it in.
I'm no mechanic, but this seams like a synchro issue. Can anyone shed some light on this before I spend mucho dollars taking the tranny out?
thanks

Clutch not releasing??
Well, I just got off the phone with RPM transmissions, and the guy I spoke to said it looks like my clutch isn't releasing properly.
Actually, after i described my symptoms, he asked if I had an aftermarket clutch. Said it's common.
Anyone else have this happen?
