deankxf 20,263 Posted October 30, 2018 yeah , as above.. 4 speed or 5 speed? what oil? gearbox oil is the wrong oil .. by top loader i assume it's a 4 speed.. and if so it's likely a single rail, not a top loader(unless someone fitted one. unlikely) can you get reverse from idle easily.. if so, it's probably not clutch related. if it's a bastard to get reverse i'd say it's adjustment needed only 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
