[DeTomaso] Stud interferes with reverse?,

[MyCars]

I used to have a similar problem with my ZF. Mine would not stay in 2nd 
or third gear, it would slide out of those gears within 10 seconds if I 
did not hold the shift lever in place.

In my case, the ZF did not have a detent ball installed. It was a simple 
and relatively easy/cheap fix.

All,

Shortly before Monterey, 2015, I installed the transaxle back into 2511. A well
known vendor had upgraded my fifth gear set and due to metal spalling I also had
 to replace the ring and pinion.

Unfortunately, in the short time I drove 2511 prior to the wreck, the transaxle
was unable to stay in reverse unless I constantly held the shift lever.

Telephone trouble shooting ensued and every trick in the book was tried to no av
ail. Disconnect linkage. Manually engage reverse. Remove selector housing cover.
 With engine off engage reverse, start with clutch in, release clutch. No joy.

Finally, after the wreck someone suggested the reverse gear movement may be phys
ically restricted if one of the studs on the rear cover had been installed too d
eep.

So, in a Hail Mary before returning the transaxle to the vendor that didn't get
it right the first time, I am hoping that backing out that stud may solve the re
verse problem. In the attached photograph I believe the correct stud to back out
 is number 1.

I would appreciate some confirmation that is the correct stud.

And of course, should anyone have any thoughts on what else might be causing rev
erse to pop out under any and all conditions, those thoughts are also most welco
me.

Thanks,

Larry
