HELP!!! A 1990 C4 CAB NOT REVERSING!
 

HELLO,

please help this week just found out my c4 964 reverse gear has stopped working! when i put in reverse the car goes forward!

all other gears work fine with no noise, any ideas?

Is this an manual or tiptronic tranny?

sorry manual

Of course we knew it was a manual, as there were no AWD tips until the 996 came along...........

So moving the gear lever over, it's not traveling past the 1-2 plane into the reverse plane. Pushing forward engages 1st. (Or 3rd or 5th!)

Not really sure where you are on the DIY chain, but I don't see the problem outside of it being the shift linkage. Just have to dig in there and see if anything is broken or out of place.

I agree, probably not such a scary job. Start by lifting the car, removing the long middle cover under the car, and looking around the shaft with a flashlight... If you don't know how it should look like take photos and post here :thumbup:
