Hi guys,
I recently had a new clutch put in as the previous clutch was a toda hi power clutch and overkill for uk roads.
Anyway recently I have noticed that it can very difficult to engage reverse. Don't get me wrong sometimes it slips into reverse first time but too many times over the last few days, when I *** tried to park up, reverse in to parking space, I have looked like a muppet as car won't go into reverse. And sometimes it would make a crunching sound before it goes it, and sometimes it will only go halfway in. Ie I can hear my rear parking sensors engaged but if I move the gear would slip back into neutral. And yes I am stationery when I am trying this. Never had this issue in my old ep3 which done 70k miles. This fn2 has done 30k miles.
I have tried all the usual tricks, such as putting into 3rd/1st gear first them engaging but same issue. Equally I could get it to engage reverse gear first time sometimes. Help!
I know this a common issue due to it being non synchro? But surely I should not have this much trouble. As I said a brand new clutch was installed by Stevie. So I don't know what the issue could be? Surely I don't have to live with this?
Sorry a bit of a noob around this area, but what fluid would I have to change given what Stevie has done.
It has a wavetrac LSD, and that was installed 10,000 miles ago. A full service was done at Honda 6 months (400 miles ago).
Could it be linkages? Is that under the gear gaitor or under airbox?
