Grinding reverse
I've got the hard to get into reverse, think it's in, let out the clutch and then you hear an awful Grinding noise syndrome too. Right from the beginning it felt like a design compromise to me, so I never went after it. I will say if it starts to grind as you are withdrawing the clutch pedal, just push up on the stick while you continue to let the clutch out, and then she'll slide in. Remember, out of necessity, reverse gears aren't syncromesh, so the gears have to line up right. I think overall it's a good tranny, and it was one of the earlier 6 speeds.
Enjoy!

). I will be doing the install myself, My Z06 is my daily driver so I will change it before it strands me on the road potentially. I will also be doing large power adders next year so now seems like a good time.
