You have to hit (or tap is perhaps a better word) the gear lever to overcome the spring and plunger force in the mechanism.

> 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 .
