Ok I parked my car with everything working great and now it won't shift into reverse? Is there a reverse lockout solonoid like gms have? I can't get it in no matter what I do but every other gear shifts great?

Is the clutch engaging all of the way? Does it seem to slip in first gear?

Sounds like the tranny might just be toast, I am no mechanic though.

Maybe a lock-out, maybe broken parts... I dunno.

Well i think i figured it out, my throw-out bearing is making helacious noises i just never noticed because its pretty loud (hehehe) So it seems im not completely taking pressure off from the input shaft therefore not allowing the gears to "relax" once i move backwards (opposite direction the input shaft wants to spin because of the engine output) everything slides right in.
