Suspected cause · Original poster
It is going in friday for a RMS and probably a new clutch.
Leading evidence: 'clutch' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'clutch' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace linkage' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

You will have to remove the rear center console, and replace the linkage.

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.

Keep us posted on what the cause of the problem was and how you fixed it.
I have been stuck a few times trying to get into reverse. It has always gone in with a little patience, but today was the first time i needed to get some help. Just so happens that a guy walks up says he has a 40th, and asks about mine. He ended up pushing me back out of a parking spot. It is going in friday for a RMS and probably a new clutch. Also going to have the 60K done minus the oil and filters which i already did. I have posted before about a whining/bearing noise from the tranny/clutch and am wondering if this is a sign of bad clutch and/or tranny. Car is still CPO until 08.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Having a similar problem, thus this visit here today. Heard a popping/clicking when shifting from 2nd to 3rd last night, then felt a little more play than usual in the shifter. Car shifted forward no problem. Pulled into a parking spot, head in, and found when I left the store that I couldn't back out. The shifter, no matter how hard I pushed left, and up, still engaged in first only, never reverse. ANy ideas?
(I hate gyms, btw.) Thanks all. For some reason (my idiocy is possibly the culprit) I didn't see the second post beforeI posted. Hopefully, thus, not a big deal to get fixed cost/time-wise? Thanks again.
If it is the plastic linkage socket, it will probably 1.0 to 1.5 hours to fix as a DIY. You will have to remove the rear center console, and replace the linkage.
Here are the instructions to install a B&M short shifter. See post #21 for the potential problem.

Check out this thread on renntech.org which shows a few aftermarket replacements for the shift link. You may have to register (free) to be able to see the pics.

Let us know if you have any additional questions. Keep us posted on what the cause of the problem was and how you fixed it. Hope this helps.
It's officially the linkage. Apparently the factory (plastic) part isn't even available (indefinitely on back order I was told, twice). That said, I'd go with the Evo unit (I'm not sure I want to shorten the throw with the B&M and the EVO seems closer to stock, whch I'm more comfy with), but here's the question: is the Evo part interchangeable? i.e. can it be used on either? I know there's a blue and a black, and the blue is the one that's shot, but is there a difference?
