Re: [DML] Can't Get Reverse With My D Manual Transmission

[AJL521@xxxxxxx]

It sounds like you have a problem with the linkage cable itself.  If it was 
out of adjustment you would be able to get into either 5th or Reverse, but not 
both...it could just be that the cable is sticking.  I had the same problem 
with my DeLorean when I purchased it after it had been sitting for 10 years (I 
had a number of other problems also).  In any case I would check the condition 
of the cable, inspect it for any breaks in the cable housing, and replace it 
if that is the case.  If the cable appears to be in good condition try working 
the shifter back and forth a number of times, that might free it up.  Note:  
If it shifted properly before sitting I would not recommend trying to adjust 
the cable now, espicially since you cant get it into 5th or reverse, it dosen't 
sound like adjustment is the issue. 

Best of Luck, and yes, it really does come down to luck in these cases,
