Re: [T3] Popping out of Gear

["Kris Kuckowicz" <chached_jag@hotmail.com>]

Hey all,
  Well, finally got the tranny & engine back in.  After examining the old 
transmission, it's a wonder it ever ran.  The Throw-out bearing only had one 
clip, there was no grease in the CV Joints, and the nose cone mounting holes 
were expanded about twice their size.  (If I could just get my hands on the 
P/O.)  Anyways, it's all in and I have 4 very nice forward moving gears, 
however I've only been able to get it into reverse 3 out of 50 tries.  I 
know the tranny is good, and I replaced the shift-coupler already.  My guess 
is that it is my SCAT shifter.  One of my friends always complains about his 
popping out of reverse. . .anybody else experience any problems with the 
SCAT shifter?  I was thinking of throwing in a stock shifter when I get off 
work, think it'll work?  I'll let you all know if it does or not.

Kris
