Reverse is grinding...BADLY!

[UNDERCOVER_73]

So my 95 psd zf5 trannie, is having reverse problems...Seems like the synchros are out cuz it wont go into reverse unless i grind it in while slowing it down then lock it in place...PAIN IN THE BUTT. and its pissin me off.

So what do i need to do?

Check the clutch bushing on the pedal first, chances are it is shot and can cause that problem. Easy visual check. If that bushing is junk you will lose an inch of play in the sytem causing it to act like a bad tranny/clutch.

If the bushing is fine, try putting the truck in 5th gear and then into reverse to see if that helps.

bushing was replaced with the 1/2 Bolt mod.
and idk i could try that , but i know the synchros are out its not cheap fix
