Hi guys,

Got my engine replaced about 2 months ago and have only driven car about 5 or 6 times since then but last 3 times I have had trouble getting reverse after been for a drive. I have no trouble selecting it when backing out of shed when cold and doing some 3 point turns, but when at operating temperature after driving when selecting it, the gears grind together as if I havent got the clutch pushed in at all. First also seems a bit tricky when selecting it but the gears dont grind/crunch as much.

Could it be my clutch needs adjusting(hydraulic), or oil missing from the box?

Its clutch adjustment....the reason your forward gears are working is the syncros are helping out...try bleeding first.

Definitely sounds like clutch adjustment, a little too much free play.
How far off the floor is the pedal when the clutch starts to take up? If it�s really close to the floor, it only needs adjusting.
