Hard to get into reverse.

[crazy ray]

There have been times that I have a hard time getting into reverse. It is to a point that it feels as though I going to break something in the trany. It doesn't happen all the time. But I have my concerns. Shifting thru the other gears are notchy.

is the clutch properly adjusted?

Put it in first gear and THEN go into reverse

Yeah it's a Mustang thing. 1st then reverse sometimes works for me. But just let the clutch half way out then put her in reverse. Works every time for me.

Someone correct me if im wrong but i believe its because if your trying to put it in reverse and the shafts are spinning to fast then it will be hard to shift, but if you put it into first gear first it will slow down the shafts so that you can put it in reverse easily
