hard gear engagement when hot

[MelZ]

Hi Guys, can any one shed any light on this little problem.When my car (71 240z standard everything) is hot it is really hard to engage 1st or reverse, ie graunching.What is growing when hot so that the engine is not completely disengaged when i,m pushing the clutch in.Thanks for any help/advice  you can offer.Mel Z

Is there Oil in the box?

I would check clutch fluid, probably low.

Sorry to revive another old thread.

 

I am having a little trouble also when trying to select reverse. Unders normal conditions its not too bad but in a motokhana it causes grief.

 

I took apart my second gearbox over the weekend and the gear I believe to be reverse is a bit chewed up.

 

Anyone know if it is possible to replace the reverse gear with one that has a syncro?

 

If thats not possible can someone tell me if the VL box has a syncro on reverse?

 

Just a little side note: As I dismantled the box I had a couple of small springs and a ball bearing fall out of the main assembly. I hope they weren't floating arounf in there while I was driving the car 18 months ago.

Haha,

 

My reverse complains abit when i engage it quickly as well. As long as im gentle thought it seems to be alright.
