Ok, this has been happening for a while but I never posted about it.
I am having problems getting my car into reverse since I installed my TWM.
Not a big deal, but it seems like I have to push HARD to get it to come out of 5th gear. On the way out sometimes i'll put it into 3rd or 5th from pushing too hard, and the gears will grind. wtf? (dunno) I wasn't moving.
Also, has anyone ever blipped the throttle up to 2k and then put it in reverse? It will grind also.
^Not that I do that a lot but I just wanted to see when the gears would grind. It seems if they are over 1500 or so and I put it in reverse.

The clutch grabs fine and seems very strong still. i have no idea what else it could be. If it is a clutch problem, someone gimme a recommendation on another clutch

to check your clutch, go on the highway or w/e and when in 5th gear depress the clutch, rev and release/dump it, if it slips then you need a new one, i bought a spec stage3 hybrid with lightendflywheel but havent drove the car yet, everyone says they like the spec products

I know my clutch is fine, i've done that. Do you think that it's just not catching all the way or releasing all the way?

idk your case sounds weird, drain you tranny fluid and put fresh fluid in and see what happens, im having the same problem with my camaro.

my camaro needs a new tranny, i suggest you get your car checked out by your local mechanic or if you still got a warrenty, mazda.
