I was out in my s14a the other day. everything was ok until......coming out of the shop, getting into the car and starting the engine....Uh?! Whats that nasty rattling noise? It didn`t do that 10mins ago. Push the clutch in and the nasty sound goes away....Ah thats better. Now to select reverse......Oh bollards!!!! i cant get in to reverse.
My thoughts are that the bearings have gone on the reverse cog and its dropped onto the shaft causing the horrible noise and loss of reverse. I know its not the VVT rattle that has been experienced by alot of people. removing the gear stick and hearing the noise from inside the box backs up my thoughts.
Has anyone got any ideas on this? opinions are most welcome.
Ideally, i would like to remove the gearbox and get inside it to remove the shaft and reverse cog. has anyone got experience on this subject? Am i better off getting another gearbox or is it easy/difficult/at all possible to work on the one i have? Money is a real big issue here!!!

I suggest getting another gearbox, and dive into the problem yourself. that's if you really want to learn about it. Let me know if you need the FSM for the SR tranny, and I'll see what I can get ya.

I appreciate the advice This opens up a bigger can of worms. Do i go for a recon`d box for around £500 ($900), which is likely to have been ragged silly, hence the reason it was recon`d. Or do i go for a low mileage second hand box, which is not so easy to get hold of as you dont find many scrapped sr20`s in the UK. My box has only done 40,000 miles so would like to put it back on the car if i can.

darn you're in the UK. Here in america the Sr and ka trans are interchangable only swapping over the bellhousing is required (this i've heard, havent done this yet.) I would say go that route.
Well in your case, i would go with the recon 'd and see if it has some kind of warranty. If it's recon 'd it should come with a warranty to prevent it from happening again.
