Reverse shift scraping?

[ajrichie]

Sometimes when I try to shift into reverse and I release the clutch (not completely) I hear a scraping noise and I get no power. I then put it back in neutral and shift it back to reverse and it connects properly. Anyone know why this would happen?

Reverse is just not all of the way engaged. No big deal, just disengage the clutch and make sure its fully in reverse gear.

Hondas are known to act this way. If you can't get into reverse you hafta do what you just described. Mine does it even with a new clutch.

Oh okay, thanks for the info.
