Hard gettin into reverse
Every time I start the car in the morning I have to play to with the transmission just to get it into reverse.
I got the car second hand with 9k miles on it.Just wondering if that's normal.

Yea it is fairly normal. What I do is if I'm not sure it's in, is just apply light pressure and slowly start to move and you will feel it fall into gear. Works everytime for me like a charm.

Dope.
Just concerned cause it's really hard to get in.
And when i'm in a parking lot usually I have no space to roll forward.So it takes a while to get it into gear.Specially if I'm on a date!Ahaha
Thanx

I think it's a flaw. I do it almost everytime and it's been like that for the last 3 years but no Mazda dealership wants to put time into it. I do it slowly like it feels like it's in gear, but it makes a whirring sound like it's not quite in, then I have to shove it down more.

I've grinded second alot specially when I'm rollin at high rpms. Can't really speed shift second.But it's a rare problem for me.Only 10k miles on my car.
Reverse in the other hand I have to really jam into gear.I'm just worried I'm grindin the gears down..

same deal here. I'm pretty sure it's a normal thing with reverse and I always give it pressure before I back up just for safety.
