Just what it says in the subject. It's been going on for like a month now and its only reverse. Sometimes it does this and sometimes it slides smoothly out of reverse. Also does anyone know what might be wrong?

Hmm...like I can put all my force into trying to push it out of gear and it wont budge. Sometimes if I let out a little on the clutch or rev a little it helps, but its getting annoying...do you think i bent a fork?

No help here either, just letting you know youre not alone. BTW it does seem to happen IF im going like more than 10-15 ft in reverse, or if my im going too fast. I guess im saying that in my case, looks like too much of distance or speed in reverse makes mine do it!I Just dont know what "too much" is Does any of this sound familiar?

mine is hard to get out of it. i'm always like wtf and cant get out of it. i know what help though. if you have enough space and your stuck in reverse try going back...back... and back and then it comes out. also if you r downhill or some thing and your in reverse just let the car go and push till it comes out believe me this help. but the hell is going on though. what can it be
