HelmutGTI 5 1 Cars Posted March 15, 2020 When engaging reverse after my engine warmed up, I have a hard time engaging it and there is a hard grindning noise. could there be anything else then a bad syncro? And if so is it a straight forward job to fix it. I have overhauled the engine myself and every other part on the car is either refurbished or changed to new by me since I have totally renovated my 205, so I guess my mechanic skills is up for the task.

HelmutGTI 5 1 Cars Posted March 15, 2020 Well now it daunt me! Is there even synchro ring on reverse? I know many car back in the days didn’t have that so you had to go from neutral to gear to reverse? Is that the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
