Hey Dude just letting you know just posting a problem like with with little description is a way to just get flamed. More info would be good if you would like help but if you aren't too good with cars just take it to a mechanic.

im good with cars more info like age it is a 1994 50,000km we have done clutch fluid and gear oil i used castrol vmx-m 75-85 filled till it came out the hole the problem started 1 week ago all the work was done 4 weeks ago so dose any one know?

It has nothing to do with your oil, sounds like your clutch is not disengaging properly so try your master cylinder or slave cylinder for leaking fluid as it sounds like there is not enough pressure it may even be the clutch pedal.

Also reverse is a straight cut gear not helical like all the others so it should be that slight bit harder to get into gear as they are not meshed like a helical gear, just use your muscle and throw it into reverse and you wont have a problem.

he said the clutch may be dragging and if the oil is low or the wrong type he said it may spin the gear faster and been strait cut it will grind and not go in to place like the other gears but he said the clutch splines could be sticking or the slave isnt pushing out enough

My non-turbo 34 does the same thing most mornings on cold start, goes in but makes a horribly grinding/whirring noise.. pop it out of gear, pump the clutch a few times and put it back in, no worries. If I pump the clutch a few times BEFORE trying to put it into reverse for the first time, it doesn't do it.

This leads me to suspect there is a tiny bit of air in the system..

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
