Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a new to me 01 twin turbo. It is almost impossible to shift into reverse. Physically impossible. Can someone point this novice in the right direction. Many thanks.

POST 2Original post

Tippy or manual? Any problems shifting into any of the forward gears?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No problems with any other gears. It feels like the lever cannot go all the way to the reverse notch. Even pushing with a lot of force. It is a manual. Thanks.

POST 4Original post

What happens if you gently release the clutch a little while you try to put it reverse?

POST 5Original post

Do you have a short shift kit? Could it need adjustment?

POST 6Original post

Extremely worn engine and/or transmission mounts?

POST 7Original post

Try shifting into 1st gear, then reverse. Will it allow reverse right after 1st?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13123867

I believe so. It worked up until recently, and the actual gear works. I just cannot get the stick into the reverse slot.

POST 10Original post

You need to remove the center console and mess with the shift linkages. I wonder if you can use the centering tool to adjust it.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13124463

Can anyone point me to the correct centering tool for my year model? 2001. Or any write ups on what I am looking for, or trying to avoid. Thank you all very much thus far.

POST 12Original post

Sometimes the shift cable slips out of the bracket down near the transmission. Not sure if this would cause a problem with Only going into reverse or not.

POST 13Original post

^ You may need some zip ties to properly secure the shifter cable ends into the brackets on the transmission - the clips are wonky and prone to sucking.

POST 14Original post

Does it go into reverse without the engine running?

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13125810

No. Its like something is keeping it from going all way left getting left of 1st.

POST 16Original post

Quotes source post: 13125973

As others have mentioned 1st thing to do would be check where the cables mount at the transmission. They easily pop out from that location. That would be the 1st place I would look.

POST 17Original post

Check the cables are in the brackets on the transmission. Many have slipped out of the brackets making all sorts of weird things happen. Zip tie them in.

POST 18Original post

post this on turbo forum -> i thought i've seen past posts regarding issues with the turbo transmission?

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the help. Ordered the green shifter tool. Will update as soon as it arrives.
