sorry. it is a 96, 5 speed. no electronic reverse lock solenoid. I also tried disconnecting the linkage and shifting by hand under the car to eliminate the linkage as a source, goes into all the other gears just fine but not reverse. I thought about the synchros, tried forward and reverse trick this morning. no sucess. too it a step further on my way home and rolled backwards down a hill to see if i could bang it into gear. it feels like its not even engaging the synchro. the is a very hard stop trying to get into reverse. clutch in, clutch out, multiple clutch presses, trying other gears first, every trick in the book. is it possible for the reverse idler gear to get stuck on the shaft it rides on? or for the reverse linkage to fail and dislodge or something? More importantly, everything possible that i know of to do from the outside of the trans has been eliminated. are there any other things i can try or that i may be missing? i really really dont want to have to pull the trans.

[QUOTE="MMDKites, post: 1992378, member: 35550"] sorry. it is a 96, 5 speed. no electronic reverse lock solenoid. I also tried disconnecting the linkage and shifting by hand under the car to eliminate the linkage as a source, goes into all the other gears just fine but not reverse. I thought about the synchros, tried forward and reverse trick this morning. no sucess. too it a step further on my way home and rolled backwards down a hill to see if i could bang it into gear. it feels like its not even engaging the synchro. the is a very hard stop trying to get into reverse. clutch in, clutch out, multiple clutch presses, trying other gears first, every trick in the book. is it possible for the reverse idler gear to get stuck on the shaft it rides on? or for the reverse linkage to fail and dislodge or something? More importantly, everything possible that i know of to do from the outside of the trans has been eliminated. are there any other things i can try or that i may be missing? i really really dont want to have to pull the trans.
