Well i have been driving my car for about a month with no reverse and it's doing my head in searching for slopes and escape paths due to no reverse! :) I have done a search and seem to have the same symptons as many with reverse not exsisting and all other gears and clutch fine. It appears to be a lock out spring that has snapped that is excessible from the inspection plate on the passengers side of the box. I have taken it to a few places in Mandurah (some speciallizing in gearboxes) but they give me the "can take it out and have a look" with diagrams from the site in hand. Has anyone had the same problem and can direct me somewhere? Cheers.

Yeah that is what i have been told. Seen a few guys from over east with the exact problem and has been fixed by taking the gear box xmember off and sliding it back a few inches to access inspection plate. Three hours later and $85 - $160 later fixed!

I had the same problem in my gts4 - same setup tho. It is right up near the top of the box and a pain to get to. Basically, undo the bolts holding the box xmember and let the tail drop. The device is just forwards of the gear shifter, there is an inspection plate on top of the box and the lockout bit is just down from the side of that. Remove one 10mm bolt and then lever it out with a small flat head screwdriver - no room so its a pain in the ar$e... remove the guts of it and reinstall. Not difficult to do, just difficult to get at it because you cant really see what you are doing and there is no space to work.

Cant help with where to go to to get it done, but I did it at home in my shed :)

Yeah I know Fabian, has done work on my car before. He has not heard of this problem as we inspected one of his gearboxes out of a car there. I'm really after someone who has fixed it without ripping the box out and resulting in costly labour as per normal from a GTR. A rooted shoulder and lack of tools stop me from getting under there aswell :) Cheers anyway and well recomended!

your reverse lockout spring has snapped. had the same problem. ring up nissan, part costs $2. drop cross member, lower the box and take the cover of up top below the shifter its on the passenger side. get nissan to print out a diagram. go to total nissan wangara.

up on a hoist is easier.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
