Manual Transmission - 2 Questions

On a standard tranny....mmmmm....not so much.

Sounds like a possible problem with the collar or with the synchro(s).

(Just a guess from the description. Would have to drive it.)

Sounds like the clutch isn't fully disengaging. Might want to check the fluid level in the slave cylinder and maybe bleed it to make sure there is no air in the system.

I would say it's pretty normal... My 97 V6 did exactly the same thing. The reverse gear is not synchronized... therefore, when u push in the clutch it's still spinning for a little bit, and when u put it into reverse it grinds a bit until it stops. Try throwing it into 5th, and then reverse, and I bet it won't grind anymore.

Use the 5th synchronizer to stop the input spinning, and it won't grind.

might want to check to see if the clutch is completely disengaging.

Not to be a complete dick, but really.....how many posts does it take to reiterate what I've already said?

Ying-Yang Spilled my beer when they jumped on the table and proclaimed in :

I thought the reverse gears are not syncronized. They're not on my S10, and you don't normally shift into reverse while it's going down the road....so there's no need for them to be.

About the same thing I was thinking... All of them at the same time, and suddenly more grinding going into reverse, too? Too much of a coincidence. I'd focus on the clutch.
