'85 190D 2.2l 5spd manual shift
I can't get it into reverse, I push to the right and down on the
shifter and can't go back to reverse. I can go forward into 5th but
not back. SOMETIMES it'll consent and with a little clang go back. I
presume that whatever gets adjusted when I push down isn't getting
adjusted any more but I don't know enough about it. When its not
working it feels like reverse just isn't there, like you're trying to
shift into nothing.
I called my Indy yesterday but he wasn't in. I'm hoping this is
something simple... So far I've been parking on hills but I'm going to
get caught I know it.

Does the shifter move freely? I had a customer put 90W gear oil in the
trans and when winter came he had to warm the car up for 30-45 min so
he could move the shifter. He said reverse was near impossible.
