Yup. I've tried going to reverse from all gears. Same result when hot. Enough of a grind that I'm sufficiently discouraged from even thinking about jamming it into reverse.
quote:When my clutch was hanging up this would work for me. I couldn't select reverse without going into first and then quickly selecting reverse.
That works well for me when it's cold or when the engine isn't running. I think engaging it in one of the synch'd gears bumps the cluster enough that you can get the non-synch'd reverse in mesh and then it slides right in.
quote:Or like you said. I would start it in reverse.
It's my only option at the moment, but as I said, I'm not at ease with starting with the crank loaded against the thrust bearing. Maybe that's not a big deal? However, having to shut down to grab reverse is objectionable.

I have a long throw slave and ample stroke. I agree they're a good idea Though they tend to increase the required pedal force a bit, they're well worth it.
Thanks for the post.
