Bought the car fixing its gremlins. Anyway there is no reverse. Put it in reverse let out clutch pops right away. Hold it in revers just grinds. Ideas?
sorry about title it is a wc t5

 

The fork is bent, the pads are worn/missing, the engagement slider teeth, or the gear engagement teeth are trashed. You'll need a rebuild either way, so once the trans is opened up, you'll know for sure.

 

Difficulty level involved here. never ripped open a trans rebuilt a few motors never a trans. Any good websites for parts or rebuild pics.

 

also some times it will work for a few feet.

 

You need a few "speciallized" tools, but it's not rocket science. Large snap-ring pliers, bearing splitter/press (or local shop), dial-caliper or depth-micrometer.

The service manual is here: http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English...0-0199_173.pdf

When I did my first one, it probably took 2x 1/2-days with the manual sitting in front of me step-by-step.

 

Thanks i have not checked if i have 5th yet but all the posts about that plug on the drivers make it sound like they cant even get into reverse. Was thinking it might be that but guess not.

 

Internal pics would rock if anyone has them so i can see what i am looking for.

 

Here's some pics of a rebuild I did a while ago. What is it you're looking for?

Like where i should be looking inside once i get it out and open.
