uncchcane Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I figure I'll ask this question in this thread since I'm also working on an 85 XN6 manual - only it's a sedan not a wagon. We got it running and drove it around the block. We got ready to drive it again and when I would try and put it in reverse and let the clutch out, it would pull forward and bog down like it was in a high gear. I ran out of time and haven't crawled under it yet, but I'm thinking it's some sort of linkage issue? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Welcome to the forum! You should be going far right and down, and if the linkage isn’t engaging reverse then you’re likely grabbing 4th. Should be able to inspect from below, or remove the console and tunnel cover to get access to the shifter assemble. Control rod sockets can get very loose, and the bushing on the shifter boot can get hammered out as well making for a very sloppy shifter.
