Replaced Clutch, no reverse gear now
Hello.
I replaced the clutch yesterday and once i took the car off the lift, there was no reverse. I didn't have time to go back in and see whats wrong yet (had to go out of town).
Figured, I may have knocked the shift linkage out of adjustment, but first 5 gears work just fine. I just cant put the shifter in reverse.
Any Ideas? Is there some sort of a reverse-lockup that I could have broken?
Any Ideas would be apreciated.
P.S. its 2002 2.7 5-speed manual

You didn't put the clutch disc on backwards did you?
Cheers!

Shifter linkage needs to be adjusted, the passenger side one is out of whack.

No, Clutch is put in correctly, otherwise the car wouldn't have forward gears either and it does.
Thants what I thought, probably the linkage. Will see if adjustment fixes the problem and will post the results.
Thanks for the input

Got it sorted out. shift linkage (right-left) was out of wack, adjusted it and its all good now.
New clutch sure feels good, didn't even realize how worn the old one was until i replaced it.
Pedal is alot lighter, it engages just off the floor now.
Takes some getting used to though, killed the car twice already.

How hard was it? I've done two clutches before, one rear drive (easy), and one front drive (medium difficulty, Toyota Camry). Not too excited about the P car for when it's due...
