[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 16713932, member: 105608"] Reverse in the t45 is always going to give you problems, it's a design flaw. I had to dig to find this again: ****Unfortuantely the T45 had a design flaw which caused abnormal wear on the reverse syncro and blockers. It is also prone to jumping out of reverse. The design utilises a dual shift fork design and they are prone to being bent which causes uneven engagement when shifting. This uneven movement of the fork is what is wearing out your syncros prematurely. Yes it can be fixed, but it is going to happen again. Whether it happens again while you own the car depends on how long you keep it.**** That was from a Tremec tech on allfordmustangs back in the day. Stop forcing the gear, you're damaging the trans. Put the trans in another gear first, then reverse. From a dead stop, most people have the best luck with 4th, then reverse. Sometimes, putting it in 1st, moving literally one inch forward, then reverse will make it drop right in. Sometimes, a bird has to be flying over your house on a Saturday afternoon while a butterfly lands on a flower in a field, then it'll drop right in. [/QUOTE]
