    Manual Transmission Adjustments

    Mine has been doing that :thumbs for 40k . I have found that if you engage 4th gear prior to Reverse it helps. ALSO make sure the plastic bushing on the clutch rod is not worn out --I know how frustrating it can be. I tow quite a bit and the ZF is still holding up OK. If you do a...
