Technical crunch when enguaging reverse
Have you read the cars user manual?
Says you need to press clutch for 2-4 sec before engauging reverse.
Same on Stilo, mk3 Panda and many other cars

There's no syncromesh on reverse gear of just about any car. Just wait a second or two, as suggested above
Thats ok. Yep, no problem there, just an inconvience if needing to reverse into that space quickly as I've found a few times
Oh, and welcome to the Forum :wave:
I always get the crunching and didnt know you needed to press the cluch for a second or two before selecting reverse i have the 1.3
I have just been selecting 1st then reverse, it dont crunch then. Think ill try the holding the cluch next time

That is a common method used by many on here.
Yeah this is common on most cars. Every car I've owned crunched reverse if I tried to select it too fast.
Should try a 126, they have no syncro on 1st either.

My Alfa GT Junior only has syncro on 1st if you are chaning down into 1st i.e. from 2nd or 3rd. if you try to select it from neutral you can get crunches, so I've developed a habit of always going for 2nd and then 1st on take off which has transfered over to the 500 too
My alfa 155 wouldn't always select reverse unless you had been in 1st before hand either, never crunched though and if you pulled lever it as the revs rose it would slip in anyway.
