Ok, I have a 89 coupe, all stock. It is a 5 speed. I had issues for a while about it being hard to get in gear, fixed a leaking slave cylinder, adjusted the clutch pedal, and it was fine.

Two weeks later I was driving to school and when it came time to leave, no reverse. Not even a grind. Solid like a rock. Every other gear went in perfectm reverse was just not there. I drove the car home and it was ok. I stopped on a hill, it went in reverse. Got home, it would not, and still wont.

I changed the bushing. I bleed the system again. I have not adjusted the clutch pedal again because it goes in every other gear fine.

So is reverse just gone? I tried rev matching it. Tried easing off the clutch and going in gear, it wont even grind or try.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Does ur clutch slip at all. My car wouldnt go into reverse before i got my new clutch. It would occasionally go in...but only after trying for a while.
