can't even get into reverse when the car is off?
All the rest of the gears are fine.

Does it sound like the linkage needs to be adjusted?

If you can't get in with the car off, it's not likely the clutch. Did you recently install a shifter

Default No, the only recent work is the clutch install last week.

In fact besides the RS4 clutch and LTW flywheel car is bone stock.

Default do you know if they did anything to the shifter?

Reason I ask, when I installed an aftermarket shifter, I screwed the **** down too far and it would let me put the car in reverse. Shouldn't be possible with a stocker, though...

Default you usually disconnect the shifter to get the tranny out, right?

It probably needs to be adjusted.
