What causes a manual transmission to grind in reverse on a 1987 gmc S10 5speed?
Bad synchronizer.AnswerI have an '86 S10. When it will not go into reverse or grinds going into reverse, it helps to put it in 2nd then reverse. AnswerMost manual transmissions do not have a sychronized reverse gear. When you try to go into reverse from neutral, the transmission countershaft (which is linked to the pilot shaft) is still turning. The main shaft (which is linked to the tailshaft) is not turning. Therefore, since there is no sychronizer (or clutch brake like on a heavy truck tranny) the sliding cluctch gear (splined to the main shaft) grinds against the main shaft gear (floating over the main shaft but meshing its respecive countershaft gear through the reverse idler). The slider's function is to lock the main shaft gear to the main shaft thereby transmitting power to the rear wheels in the desired gear ratio (depending on which main shaft gear is locked to the main shaft). The way to cure this is to select a forward gear to stop the transmission and then go to reverse, all the while holding the clutch down. If it still won't go into gear you can either slip the clutch ever so slightly to "bump" the gears while gently pushing the stick into reverse (not too hard!! you can bend or break forks!! OUCH!!) or go into neutral, let the clutch all the way out, go into a forward gear and then reverse. If you think manual trannies are complicated, have someone explain an automatic to you!!!! AnswerThe comment above about the lack of syncros(sp) on reverse is correct, however one cause of grinding when shifting into reverse is improper adjustment of the clutch linkage. If the adjustment is correct when the clutch is depressed the gears should stop turning and eliminate the grinding. Make sure there is some free play in the linkage when the clutch is not depressed. Like everyone has stated, syncros, putting in first before reverse and all that, they may be correct. But please save yourself time and money and check the simple things first, is your clutch fluid low? matter fact if it is not at the maximum line, you should put some in it. it takes break fluid in case you didnt know, and if it can be fixed with 2 dollars of break fluid, it beats the hell out of a new clutch or transmition

There is no clutch adjustment. The clutch is hydralic and therefore needs no adjustment. If the clutch isn't working correctly you most likely have to bleed the clutch line.

Mazda 1987 truck will not shift into any gear but reverse?
Well you have a strange issue. Being the trans will not shift into any but reverse would point to the clutch being toast. Normally if the truck will not shift is the slave clyinder or even the clutch master or throw out bearing gone. To rule out the the throw out did it noise while the truck was in neutral and even while in gear.If either apply may be the throw out is gone, but sounds 100% clutch is gone. If the truck will shift into soley reverse then this would rule out the slave, and clutch master cyldr and even the throw out in most cases due to the it is moving the fork to engage the clutch and the surface of the clutch is worn to it's life except reverse due to it is not used as much. I recommend a new clutch and replace the throw out bearing and would be a good idea to replace the pilot bearing and go ahead and do the rear main seal even if its not leaking if its got lots of miles, plus the age would make me do it being you have the trans pulled out.
