Sometimes I have a hard time shifting into reverse. I still love it nonetheless.

I thought that was normal in most tCs? Like you have to shift in first than shift in reverse, it had something to do w/ the sychro. I always had this problem where I had to put it back in neutral, and shift back into reverse. It feels like its halfway in gear right?

The difficulty people have shifting into reverse is endemic of the transmission-- reverse has no syncro, so sometimes it just doesn't line up. I've had 5 different shifters in my car, and shifting into reverse has been the same with every one.

Why... the LazyBoy, of course.



I ran stock, then TWM stage 2, then the original Gearswitcher (-1.5"), then a +5" Gearswitcher, and now finally the Lazyboy 1.0.

Leverage-based shifting... it ain't for everybody.
