Problems shifting into reverse when cold?
Hello Club Cobra,
My name is Jason and this is my first post on this forum. I purchased Backdraft #194 from Reg just after Christmas. The car has been great and the only reason I don't have more than 280 miles on her is due to the inclement weather here in Cincinnati. The last two times I've had the car out I had problems shifting the car into reverse when cold. After the car gets warmed up this isn't a problem but makes for a difficult time backing it out of the garage. I have the TKO500 5-Speed and have no problems finding any of the forward gears when cold. After shifting through the gears a bit I can eventually find reverse but I know it shouldn't be this difficult. I spoke with Reg and we discussed the option of adjusting the linkage on the clutch fork. I didn't want to proceed until I received some feedback from other owners first. Has anyone else experienced this issue when the outside temps are between 45-60 degrees? I value the experience on this forum as it played a crucial role in my decision to purchase this car.
Thanks, Jason
