2008 GT500 47k miles, No reverse gear, had some grinding going on and then randomly backed out of my driveway (no issues or grinding then) drove about 5 miles, sat in a parking lot for about 15 minutes. And I haven’t had reverse since. Acts like it’s not even there. No engagement no clunk. Can leave it in reverse and get out of the car. Praying it’s not a synchro however starting to look like it judging by other forums I’ve seen. Any other thoughts or confirmation of the fear?
It sounds like the solenoid is working, then. Does it actually go in reverse? Or is it just letting the shifter go in the reverse position? Try putting it in reverse with the key on and the engine off. Then push the clutch in, start the car, and see if it will actually move in reverse.
Unfortunately correct, the linkage is internal inside the transmission, therefore I’m gonna take apart mine to see the failure as I’ve found out from my friends Viper that this a common issue
