I just want to bump this part of an old post which DRUK kindly helped me with in case the diagnosis will change given the update.
There's a horrible crunch getting into reverse, and it's now getting harder. It used to go in after another declutch, occasionally with a little complaint, but now it grates strongly. 717.430 box, five speed.
A quick update, I pushed - stood-up - on the clutch pedal tonight after the continual movement of the cogs would not permit engagement of reverse, and lo and behold, the thing stopped grinding and it went in.
Anything I could adjust before going to an indy?
Many Thanks.
Cheers,
Paul
