Default no reverse

I went to the track to run the car. I got to make one pass it went a 1.77 60 ft 4.91 330 ft then when i went to 3rd gear the clutch stayed on the floor.It would not go in gear so i coasted across the line at 8.08 at 69 mph.Now the car does not want to go in reverse. Has any one had this problem.THANK for any input

How does it look now after the pass? Have you verified shifter alignment?

Two easy checks.

1. Shifter alignment like Pre-Z06 mentioned. However, if that was off and reverse didn't work, I suspect 6th gear would be difficult to get into as well.

2. Reverse lockout switch. It could have come unplugged. A little difficult to reach, but you can do it.


If it is neither of those, try a search in the Tech section.
