reverse issue with an 8v tranny--Grind prevention

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

A number of years ago, I went from 3rd to 4th and since I wasn't really paying attention (my mind was elsewhere) it wasn't until I had it in 4th that I realized: Hey, I forgot to use the clutch!  It was a nice clean shift too.  Probably couldn't do it if I _was_ paying attention.

entire engine. And synchros? What the hell are those? A little whiff
of throttle will match the gears up, and if they don't, well, the
neighbours will hear it.
