   Hmm, sometimes I can't get it into reverse, it's like something is blocking it, i have to go into another gear (usually 3rd as thats fastest to get into) then pop it into reverse, also isit normal that if i'm rolling forward really slowly that it
   makes a grinding noise when I stick it in reverse?

   I think this is kinda normal for saxo gearbox's the grinding is because you should really stop still before you put it in reverse

   Thought as much. Lol, doesn't sound healthy. What exactly isit grinding? Also do they have 1 drive shaft or 2? I'm a noob when it comes to mechanics lol, best I've done is build a mini-air engine lol.
