No reverse...still

Hey all, The '95 in my sig is acting up again...I can not get the truck into reverse while it is running....I did the heim joint fix to the clutch master and it worked much better, but now it has gotten worse. What else could this be. The Disengage/engage point of the clutch is soooo close to the floor, the thing is barely disengaging. What could be some problems of this....Thanks in advance.

could also be a shift fork that is worn or bent. I'm no expert on the ZF but that is another possibility

Sorry Alec, I really don't know much of the internals of this tranny so I don't know. You might want to shoot Travis a PM because he knows a lot more about them then I do.

Bump....Where is the shift fork located, and how much of a job would it be to replace it or to inspect it, it is getting hard to shift into 1st now too. The grab point on the clutch is just way to low to the floor it seems.

measure your fork travel at the slave cylinder. the fork is in the bell housing, left side. IIRC it is a trans split to change the fork
