Going to reverse sometimes sucks

MIne will do that once in a while. I usually push the clutch twice and it won't do it, or you might try going into first then reverse.

Put it in 1st or 2nd before you put it in reverse. Works everytime...

anyone know what this is? if ya need to know where its comin from ill go take a pic im not good at explainin

Jay351

Looks like the AC plug to me..

TomkiRider

HUH! maybe thats why my AC doesnt work for lol! i ahve no idea where it goes, could u direct me in the right direction?

Jay351

It should plug straight into the compressor. It plugs in from the top. Hard to explain. Easy to find. Its the only wire that goes to the compressor.

Tomki you might also need a shifter bushing the r150's eat oe bushings I stock marlins hardened bushings instead of toyota

Jay351

Thats true, I had replaced mine with the marlin unit. It fixed alot of problems, but not the grinding in reverse. Alot of yota's I have driven had this problem... Just wear and tear I suppose..

and change the fluid in the trans. some grinding issues are caused by old fluid in the gearbox.

and how do you figure you've had this problem a while?
You've only had the truck a month or so...
j/k

TomkiRider

yep goin into 1st before reverse solves it 100%

just a 22re

mine grinds then jumps and the tyres bark maybe i should stop going into rev at 35mph?


ok thats was a funny my bad


i go 4th then rev works all the time plus its a stick shift any older car or truck in the world is going to do this unless it has a new or rebuilt trany its just the way they are lol

algranger

bleed your line and adjust your clutch i had the same problem and that fixed it for me

You have to wait for the input shaft to slow down before you can put it in reverse. If you are stopped, the output is stopped, but if the clutch is in, the input just spins for a lil bit before slowing down. Something that might help is to take the clutch out halfway when shifting into reverse.
