Well, here is the latest in the transmission saga.

The grinding in reverse steadily has gotten worse (no matter how many forward gears you engage before shifting into reverse or how long you wait) and putting the trans in any forward gear at a stop requires real muscle (no grinding, just a firm hard push to engage). Trans shifts beautifully either up or down once moving. It also shifts effortlessly when the engine is off and the clutch is disengaged.

The car is at a different shop having the trans removed once again.

I am going to use a pilot bearing this time instead of a bushing and see if there is any improvement.

Will let you know after the parts are removed if there is any obvious signs of wear.
