Whats up guys,
Just wondering whats your fox does when trying to put it in reverse. Because when i go straight from neutral to REV its grinds and is kinda a pain to engage. but if i go from 1st or 5th to REv is goes in fine? does anybody elses fox do that?

yeah mine does that a little......just put it in 1st first and or wait a second or two with the clutch pushed in..that's what I do and mine works good that way

Yea i put mine in 1st or 5th Grinds comming from just N.

What is the whinneing noise they make when going backwards?

my 98 f150 4.2 5sp does that.
i just put it in first every time i have to put it in reverse.

I always put mine in 5th before reverse

thanks guys.
One more for ya how do i know if my clutch cable is adujsted correctly.

Yes reverse isn't synchronized, so it requires you to hit 1st or 5th to slow the cluster gear down, then rev will engage.

telsonman

Correct. Reverse is not synced.

And to solve the noise problem, it has to do with how the teeth are shaped on the gears. on 1-5, they are at an angle like \\\\\\\\ and on the reverse gear, they are up and down, like lllllllll . for some reason it causes the sound
