I have a 2nd gen 3sgte swap with my factory s54 trans. I am running the stage 4 competition clutch.
So today I took my car out and went to my little cousins bday. I let a buddy of mine test drive my car. Good thing guy came back with the car in one piece. So anyway I had to put the car in reverse to keep from blocking the driveway and it backed up just fine. We drove about 30 minutes to the lake for a bbq. The car sat for about 5 hours and when I had to back up, I couldn't put it in reverse. No matter how much I giggled and how hard I tried to get it in, it won't. I checked my shifter cables already and they are fine. I mean all my gears go in fine, except for the reverse. Should I just buy another s54 or do you guys think its clutch related. I don't have money because people were right about the maintenance on the 3s. I have been spening money here and there tidying things up and now this happens.

If the other gears are working then it's not clutch related. If you watch the shifter linkage while someone tries to put it into reverse, does the linkage move correctly? Are you saying that you physically cannot move the shifter to the reverse position, or that you move it there, let the clutch out, and nothing happens? -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
