Means its working...

very common problem... get in the habit of putting it in 5th, then reverse, ro 1st then reverse. And it won't do it.


I believe reverse is a non-synchornized gear in our cars.

You hit that one right on the money!!
Every Borg/Warner/Tremec 5 Speed in the camaro does this. You have to put it in an alternate gear in order to keep it from grinding. I am not going to get technical, I am just going to say that yes indeed, your transmission is actually doing perfect. It is when you start grinding in other gears that you have to start worrying.
