I'm having trouble getting into reverse now an then, could my gearbox be on its way out?

Have you tried putting it in reverse without the engine being on, and still have trouble? I would say the Synchromesh might be worn.

 

If its why the car is running it could be the same thing but would swing more over to the clutch. Is the clutch slipping at all ?

It seems okay while turnt off, the clutch isn't slipping but is a bit high on the pedal

wack the car in to 4th, handbrake right up and try and pull away slowly, if she stalls then clutch is fine, if she slips then you may need a new clutch mate

Okay mate cheers :)

Going for clutch problem. But do what Steve says just to test :D

Stalls when trying to pull away in 4th so I'm guessing its the gearbox then

hmm if it goes in gear when the car is off i am not sure

 

if you turn the car off, put in reverse, foot on clutch and start car

 

can you do that ok? then put in 1st then try and put back in reverse

Ill give it a try when I finish work :)

I still think its the clutch. Might not be worn enough yet to not slip

i agree or the clutch needs adjusting.. may have meat on it but not engaging fully
