Yeah, I'll have to go with that. Thanks for the link as well. I'm gonna bookmark it for reference later
Didnt know that many people sit there and grind reverse all the time. 3rd to reverse works almost everytime. If not 4th will. If not take foot off clutch, push clutch in and start over.
I think they just fall off. Seen countless cars with rivets there but no plate.

if you put it into 3rd and then reverse, it doesn't grind. sometimes if you put it in 4th and then reverse, it doesn't grind.

i usually go 2nd then reverse. if that doesn't work, 2nd to 4th to reverse does. lol
^pokes cain at youngsters.

Didn the solstice trans have reverse syncros or was it just that it had triple cone 1-3 and was weaker and needed lots of modification?

I agree. I have had this problem with every 5 speed I have owned. It was a bit worse in the Supra and buddy gave me a one up on this old trick. You know how sometimes just trying to go from a gear or something doesn't work, well I'm usually trying from first to reverse and it just wasn't working, so he says while in first just let the clutch out so the car moves forward just a hair(1/2 inch even works) then go to reverse. I couldn't believe how smooth it was, truly butter like.
Yup done that too. Sometimes i have to try all sorts of things short of just rolling into something. Id rather try 20 times than grind.
The snout on the mainshaft wears in both the W and R Supra transmissions, this allows the mainshaft to sag onto the Cluster creating drag, Reverse doesn't have a syncro so it clashes, nudging the shifter towards a forward gear overcomes the friction and stall the Gearset allowing it to slip into reverse without a clash.
(Clutch drag can play a part in this as well)

What about when you're already moving? Not shifting into reverse when moving, but into the next gear... I've had infrequent issues with my car going from 1-2 on hard acceleration. Usually only happens if I'm near redline.

I have a problem occasionally with that. Shifting into 1st or even 3rd, sometime it just feels like it doesn't want to go in. I CAN force it if i push hard enough but usually i just coast for a bit and try again, and 99% of the time it does the trick. Not sure why.
PO said they swapped an R for the W stock tranny.A-to-the-J;1691580 said:
