hey guys i got in my car on friday morning and started it and went to put it in reverse but it wouldnt click into gear.

you can only click it into 5th and move it the right side of neautral and clutch in or out doesnt make a difference.

there were no signs at all of a f**ked gearbox anytime before that. i drove it thursday night and it was running fine.

the clutch has slipped before but nothing major. all i can think of is a broken fork selecter or something?

any help would be great.

sometimes if you brake after reversing it makes a sort of clunk noise - uni's?

cheers,

tim

had a problem like this once yrs ago in pulsar 5spd box.

it was the bearings the selector shaft travels in, you know the shaft the gear stick moves.

bearings were almost worn through there side and allowed the shaft to kick sideways so badly couldn't get into reverse at all and 1st near impossible.

split box, replaced bearings, these are slipper type bronzed bearings, reseal box and like near new again.

if your lucky that's all it is.

it was fairly cheap repair DYI.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
