I have a 2000 conv vette 6 speed. All of a sudden, when I put the car in reverse and start to back up it would pop out of gear. 1-6 gear smooth shifting and doesnt pop out, only reverse. Some times it doent but I would say twice every 5 times I back up it would pop out and make a bang noise. Does anybody know if there is a linkage or something that may be wearing out? Any body come across this issue? If so how hard is it to fix and if a dealer fixes it what would I expect to pay to have this problem resolved?

Thanks, Bob..

I have an A4 but read a few posts about that on the corvette mechanic forum.

Shifter adjustment was the first thing I thought of, too.

Has anyone performed this adjustment? If so how hard is it and how do you make the adjustment?

Thanks, Bob..

The second link above goes to a post in corvettemechanic. It is a post by c4c5specialist, who is frequently seen on this site. I have pasted his post here. I hope that is OK, Paul.


HI there,
What I would suggest first, is a shifter adjustment.

If you reference the picture below, you will find the shifter adjustment pin and assembly.

Once you remove the trim bezel and rubber isolation boot, you will see this.

Simply put the transmission in neutral with the Ebrake on, loosen the 3 Torx fasteners, 2 on the torque tube and one on the pinch bolt for the shifter rod.
Drop the pin into the slot and retorque the fasteners, all 3 to 30 N.M or 22 ft lbs. The 2 torque tube fasteners first, then the pinch bolt.

Let us know how you make out after this. Many people can claim to bend shifter forks, but very few actually are. Unless you are racing every week, I would doubt that you have this problem.

Allthebest, c4c5
