Just wondering if any of you mechanics out there have dealt with Neons. I have a 2002 dodge neon with a 5-speed manual transmission that won't go in reverse. I have done all of the usual tricks like shifting from 1 to R, or 2 to R, etc. I have also tried shutting if off then shifting into reverse but it still won't. I have also tried to let the clutch out while pulling back into reverse and it still won't. Just to clerify, it will not go into reverse at all. It's like something is stopping it from going in. Could be linkage or maybe there is some safety part that prohibits you from shifting into reverse from 5th. Tomorrow night I plan on pulling the center console to see if it is something obvious in the shifter linkage, but other than that I am at a loss.
