I checked to make sure it hadn't jumped out of gear...sure enough it hadn't. All forward gears work, but reverse is dead. I drove it around the block...no grinding, crunching or other foreign noises...it just won't back up. Guess I get to rebuild it sooner than I'd hoped. Sound familiar to anybody? | | |

I'd been planning on rebuilding it since its a bone yard upgrade anyway. | | |

I semi-rebuilt my son's T-5 in his S-10. The basic transmission has different tail shafts/shifter available I believe. The shifter location for the S-10 is mid-case. The similar transmission for, say a Camaro, has the shifter much farther back.
The shift mechanism is full of little nylon bushings and dainty shift forks. If you do a search, you can probably find a exploded view, and it might give you some leads.
I am far from Mr. AAMCO, but, to loose reverse with out any forewarning would indicate to me that the mechanism that engages it might have taken a dump.
This site is popular with T-5 folks, maybe one will show up with a answer.

I was going to wait until school was out so that my son and I could do the whole thing together, but it looks like it'll happen sooner than I'd planned. Maybe I'll get the chance over the next couple of weeks to pull the T-5 and see if I find any bits rattling around inside. Thanks for the tip. | | |
