Subject: E30 - Hard to reverse shift when cold...



Your clutch is not disengaging. The clutch plate is not centering between the 
pressure plate and the flywheel.

You can use your forward gear synchro to stop the tranny input shaft, then 
engage reverse, but you are wearing it out doing this.

The input shaft splines may be hanging onto the clutch splines and not 
sliding freely. Condition MAY fix itself, but will probably get worse until 
you have to pull the tranny and clean the splines and lube with some DRY 
graphite. Grease will attrach dirt and make matters worse.
