Suggestion
One of the projects that I did over the winter was to replace the bent and rusted shift linkage on the transmission to a nice new one.

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.

Already solved it in the General Discussions page.
I just changed the clutch and once it was all together REVERSE gear was very difficult to engage. I thought the adjustment was the connectors that are under the center console but after I did that I can't get REVERSE at all.
How do I adjust then? I have all other 5 gears and was able to drive it around the block last night when I had reverse.
Thanks
Chris
Well. He kind of left me hanging there didn't he? I encountered the exact same problem. I'm done for today. Guess I'll look around on the side of the transmission. Any help would be appreciated.
My car is a racing car and as such not stock - I have a 2001 Boxster s with an early 5 speed box.
One of the projects that I did over the winter was to replace the bent and rusted shift linkage on the transmission to a nice new one. After the change I found I could no longer engage reverse.
Turned out that I had to lower the linkage a fraction - put a washer between the shift linkage and the transmission (two bolts under the transmission that mounts the linkage to the box) - and I could then get reverse again.
Not sure if this will solve your problem or not?

Are you referring to the circled bolt in the attached image? I’m having a similar problem after swapping cables and am desperately searching for answers.
