Re: Hard shift and a grinding going into reverse 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael on  Wed Nov 1 08:45 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The clutch should engage when the pedal is near the top. If it doesn't, adjust the cable so that it does. If it grinds when going into reverse, and is hard to shift into first then the clutch is not fully engaged. I had the problem on my '87 240, and having the cable correctly adjusted solved it. You may also have some kind of problem with the clutch itself, but I wouldn't know what to suggest. Once you fix the problem, AMSOIL synthetic gear oil will make shifting a lot smoother. Also, turn off the engine before shifting into reverse to prevent grinding.

Good luck.
