Patrico777 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I noticed my reverse when I try put it in ir scrapes, even if I put it in slowly could it be sign of gearbox going ? Car have 66k st150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Nope, perfectly normal unfortunately. If you can be bothered to hold the clutch down for a few seconds before shifting to reverse it might crunch a bit less, but that's just how these gearboxes are tbh.

alexp999 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah just typical Ford 5 speed. No synchro on reverse. They still fit the same box to current Fiesta and Foci. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I have to admit it's the one thing I prefer now I've got a 6 speed gearbox, the reverse gear is up next to 1st- therefore eliminating that scraping gear change. Back with old cars I had it pop out of gear once or twice when it obviously wasn't in properly as well! Not fun when I'm in the middle of the road aiming for my 45° driveway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjay1 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 try double clutching if you want to stop the crunch going in to reverse gear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpannerTheCat Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yup same here,it's annoying but also try to let the revs die down to tickover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 yes, really. , read the owners manual and it explains the procedure to engage reverse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
