It turns out that after doing it couple times I can get it into reverse without a problem. It's just something different for me and someone else who has a 98 cobra vert sometimes has a tricky time getting it in reverse. I think it's probably normal just not used to it.

It could be worn but it's fine after a getting used to it. I can get it in reverse no problem now. Oh just an update the cobra floormats, grille emblem and rear bumper inserts came in today. I put everything in but the rear bumper inserts, hopefully I'll get to that tomorrow as it requires water, soap and time to dry.

ORIGINAL: StylinM6s

Oh ok thanks stang9946. I would want to go with something aggresive, mean sounding and a bit louder. Was the rental a 4 cyl or 6? Sounds like you got the 4 cyl to me but whatever. I'm actually getting the car checked by my local,honest mechanic. I would have a real hard time getting it in reverse. It's a pain in the *** to either make it go in it's slot or find it I'm not sure. So far I have not been able to get it on my first try, I'd have to go to neutral and start again. After 2 or 3 tries backing out I finally got it in reverse but while reversing the shifter popped in neutral. I might not have forced it hard enough into reverse I might have been lazy or somethin at the time. Point is it's just a minor issue getting in reverse gear and I want it checked out. Anyone have any problem similar to this? I'm was thinking to go synthetic tranny fluid soon anyway maybe more lub could help as well as protection?
It was the 4cyl. [:'(]

Oh thats why, lol the v6 (220 hp) or the mazdaspeed6 is where the zoom-zoom is at. the speed6 is 4cyl turbo, awd at 274 (kinda a sleeper).
