yea i notice my car won't go into reverse right away all the time unless i put it in 1st and move forward lil bit or roll back wards a lil bit. It seems like some pressure has been released or somethign. I don't know but it works for me. Goes right into gear. Sometimes shifting around through the gears with your foot on the clutch the whole time and then putting it into reverse works too. But I'm thinking your case me be a little bit different.

Since were talking about gears and such. Why is it that when I'm driving along I can easily slip my shifter out of every gear almost. I'm sure theres many different answers to that. But could someone give me a few to work with?????
