250sx question

Just wondering if anyone could tell me why I can just click my shifter down to hit reverse..
Usually u would need to use the reverse button. Like push the button in and pull in lever and shift down for reverse.. All i need to do it, click it down... Cant figure this out....

There's a lever below your perch that the Rev button slides down into Wehn pushed, locks botton lever to the top lever. It's prob'ly stuck, look under your perch & you'll see it.

If they part under the reverse button on your brake lever is stuck that could cause it

Yep sure is stuck... Im going to try to Loosen the nut Wire brush it off a little and stick it back on, Maybe that will help. Thanks Guys!!

Also check the smaller of the 2 cables that run from the perch to the engine..this is what pulls on the reverse safety lock in the transmission.

If the cable is siezed/sticking the spring pressure won't be enough to get it too return..holding the inter-lock to allow a reverse engagement.

It's just a matter of time before an accidental down shift causes an abrupt bang!! Hope you don't have any loose fillings in your teeth..they will be coming out!
