Difficulty popping into reverse..

I_Danny · Jul 8, 2023

LR 109 1984. 4 gears with OD.

I'm having increased trouble getting it into reverse. It goes in with a bit jiggling with the stick and clutch pedal, not sure if the clutch is the issue. All other gears are fine. Any ideas?

Is the idle a bit high? That won't help

I dont think so. It pop's into first OK. The clutch pedal is not returning well either, maybe both are related issues? I'm not familiar with master and slave cylinder issues, but why would that effect the reverse and not the rest?

Your modern car has synchro on first i think? Reverse will not.
Check for fluid leaks, the clutch might need bleeding

Or master cylinder pushrod issues, or the slave pushrod wearing the hole in the clutch arm?

Or wear in the bushes in the clutch pedal box, causing less travel on the master cylinder pushrod.

Does it go into reverse ok without engine running ?

No. it goes into the forwards OK. The reverse has always been a bit of a clutch-rev-popintoreverse procedure. now it is just difficult. the clutch peddle does not spring back either, not sure if that's related..
