TKO 600 Grinding.

I give up. Now, the trans shifts just fine in all forward gears, but can either grind like heck or be smooth as pie when engaging reverse. Same crap shoot whether hot or cold.

So, I'm going to live with it. I just disconnected the neutral switch and strart the car in reverse in order to avoid any grinding.

If you sit with the clutch pushed in and give the transmission time enough to stop turning, it still grinds?

Try this....

When you're sitting there with the engine running and you want to go into reverse, go into 5th gear first, then down into reverse and see what happens.

First thing we tried. Doesn't matter how long you wait or how many gears you engage first before finding reverse. Sometimes it will grind like there is no slowing down of rotation, sometimes it slips smoothly into reverse gear. No rhyme or reason, but heat seems to help the situation.
