Reverse gear problem
Anyone have problems getting their 8 into reverse? Mine has been fine until today,
it has 9500 on it and no abuse. I have to push really hard to get it to work.
Thanks

if youre talking about that nasty whizzing sound then yes, many of us have experienced it...
seems to me that if youre extra careful putting it in, it wont require so much effort after a few sucessful engagements

Yeah, it doesn't like reverse. Just don't force it or you will bend the shifter fork and you'll be... um, forked. I just slowly let the clutch out at the very top until I feel the pressure let go. Then your good to go. Mine has 31000 trouble free miles on it now.
