is it the same as a 1979-1983 ?? there is a guy on ebay that have alot of parts, contact him, his user on ebay is smokin-geez

how much they charged for a rebuilt? i heard from someone local telling me it is not so expensive.

yeah it seem to be a common problem. the 1st gear trick does not always work, and someone tell me to try 5th gear then reverse. It just seem to be a luck of a draw. my idle is around 1000rpm. i will reduce it to 800rpm, maybe it will help getting into reverse.

Hi all, im new here and i just bought a 1981 280zx. The car is in great original condition and has been garaged for some times. About 75000miles When I drove it home, i had trouble going into reverse gear, it makes a loud grinding noise, it won't let me in the reverse gear. I press the clutch few times, or go into 1st or 3rd gear. Then i go back to reverse and it works. some people tells me to change the master and slave cyl or bleed the clutch etc... The fluid was almost at max level, but the fluid was very dirty. Do you think my tranny reverse gear is broken, or i just need to bleed and change the master and slave cyl ?? all the other gear works just fine, except the reverse. Also, when i just start the engine and i press on the clutch, it makes some kind of noise, kind of bearing noise, but it is gone when the car is at normal temp. Should i have it check or is it just something to do with the clutch that has been sitting there for long time and the bearing are old? tks Boby
