I'm having a little trouble with my reverse? When I put the car into reverse I feel I have to give it some assurance to make sure it goes into gear. When I back up I initialy hold it so it doesn't pop out of gear, but after I engage the clutch I have no problems with it popping out. If I put it in reverse and back up withoiut holding it, it pops out sometimes?? I had this problem before and after I installed my B&M sport shifter. Is this possibly and adjustment? I bought the car off an older man who owned it since day one and he never abused the car, it has 74kmi on it right now. Thank You for your help, it just bothers me when I'm in front of 20-30 people backing up and my car pops out of gear. I HATE IT!!!!! It's as bad as driving your car with your brakes squeeling!

its THE T45 not YOUR T45. every t45 owner i know has problems with it popping out of reverse. change your transmission fluid. this helped mine

No sh.t!! That's makes me feel better although I'm not trying to bash every other t-45 owner out there..lol Thanks, I have changed every fluid in the car except the tranny. What do you reccomend and how much

David_K

Mobil 1 or anything synthetic OTHER THAN ROYAL PURPLE. steer clear of the purple

Yeah I don't use that stuff! I do full synthetic in my motor and put semi-synthetic in my rear diff. What kinda fluid as far as dexron or gear fluid is used??? How much

David_K

Your synchro is going out. This is common in these trannies. Same with second and third gear.
