When I was doing a clutch swap I has the tranny out and changed all the seals and oil. I noticed that when reverse was engaged I couldn't turn the drive flanges. There has always been a noise from reverse being chipped, but I wouldn't think that would prevent it from turning like when in all other gears. Yesterday my reverse went totally dead, like it's not engaged fully or the gear is stripped of all its teeth. It never got worse the entire 15000 miles I had the car, just the sudden death!!!!
My question is: should the reverse be able to be turned by hand? Someone has a cheap tranny here, but it's the same situation. He claims reverse isn't chipped at all.
