is it somewhat common to grind every once in awhile when you shift into reverse with a T5? my buddy has a 5.0 mustang with a t5 and he said his did it all the time.

Re: grindering reverse
yeah, mine didnt used too, then i got the whole clutch replaced, and it grinds everytime when i shift into reverse, the mechanic said he tried different types of fluids but to no avail. I shift in 5th gear then reverse and it minimizes it though. other then that every gear works fine. -
Re: grindering reverse
I think the problem is because reverse is not syncromeshed like the forward gears.Doug<br />1996 Camaro RS M5 Y87<br />SLP Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, 1LE frt/rear sway barsComment

Re: grindering reverse
exactly, first and reverse gears do not have syncrosOriginally posted by D_Fisher View Post
if you dont want it to grind, put it in gear before going in reverse with the clutch in
or just wait a few seconds before you put it in reverseComment

Re: grindering reverse

Re: grindering reverse
Just put it into a forward gear for a second before placing it into reverse.
Although it was not designed to grind into reverse, it sure has become a common problem.Comment

Re: grindering reverse
I used to let it roll just a touch before putting it in reverse and it helped..... - PaulComment
