Just curious at this time. My 89 will have little streaks of popping out of reverse. Is this a warning of problems developing or just the nature of the beast ?

I know some of the 4 speeds will do this even after a rebuild, but this is my first encounter with a 6 speed.:huh:

Both my 96 cars had (have) a similar problem. When backing out of my garage, for instance, I hold it towards reverse because it has a tendency to pop out. Or, not go in all the way and it'll grind.

I heard this is relatively common. Not sure about an 89 though. That have the ZF trans?

Yes, it is the ZF. Believe they started using it in 89. :stick: :buhbye:

I've seen several threads on this.

I do recall before you go into reverse you are suppose to move the stick between 3rd and 4th, then into reverse. I heard this helps tremendously.
