Grinds going into reverse...
I have a 98 sport, 4wd 5speed. About 40% of the time, my transmission grinds when I try to put it into reverse. And the clutch is pressed down all the way.
Also, every once in a while, it won't go into reverse at all. It just gets stuck between neutral and reverse and I have to take it out and try a few times before it engages...
Is this a common problem? Is there even a synchro on reverse gear that might need replacing?

Mine behaves in a similar fashion. I've just been gentle when shifting into reverse, or shifting into 5th before R.

Yup! That's exactly what I have to do as well. Been like that since the day I got her

Thanks for the reassurance. Wasn't too worried about it, just wanted to know if it was a common AX15 quirk.

Screw 1st. I always put it into 3rd then 4th, to get reverse stopped instantly. looks like you are sawing at the gears but you get reverse faster.
