Hey guys, I've recently purchased my first daily driver, a 1981 Fiat Spider, I bought it knowing it needed allot of work and I was unable to take a test drive at the time because the starter was missing, since then I've replaced allot of the car and I thought it was road ready but I've discovered a rather unfortunate transmission issue:bang:, whenever I shift into reverse the car just sits there and the tranny makes a grinding noise, I'm really scared that it's something serious and I was hoping that maybe one of you could tell me otherwise, or at least tell me where to look, the clutch is definitely disengaging and yes I am pushing down on the shifter, could it be a simple tranny oil change? any help would be greatly appreciated because I really don't know what to do next. it's the 5 speed manual, if that helps.
thanks,
Brendan
