My =E2=80=9966 BJ8 restoration is nearing completion and is due to visit =
a paint buffing shop on Monday before I install all the exterior bits . =
WE got the engine started last week and all is well with that .

Yesterday I checked out the transmission , all forward gears are fine =
but I cannot get it into reverse , The gearshift lever moves properly to =
the left against the spring the same 10  degrees ( checked with a dial =
angle finder ) as my other BJ8  but cannot engage the gear . The clutch =
travel seems to be OK no sign of grinding engaging first gear , the =
other straight cut gear .

The transmission was rebuilt by Rich Chrysler=E2=80=99s old BMC mechanic =
about 4 years ago but only recently installed .=20

Anybody had this problem .
