I haven't disassembled a NSX tranny, so i don't know enough to give any hardcore definitive answers. Most newer trannies have a reverse lockout so you can't accidently shift from 5th to reverse when down shifting. They typically require that either the car be stopped or that you go from 1st gear to reverse. If something breaks in the release for the lockout, this will cause reverse to be locked out. Maybe this broken piece has now wedged itself somewhere in the linkage making all shifting more stiff. This is all speculation on my part, but I think it is a pretty good guess. Can anyone with a more intimate knowledge of our trannies confrim or deny my explanation?Fritz
