Struggle to reverse on cold start?
Is it normal that my car struggles to go on reverse from a cold start? it just wont let me put it in gear, 6MT ?
Any other time other than cold starts reverse works great |

some what normal. sometimes my car wouldn't go in gear but i just let go of the clutch and press again and it goes in. only in freezing weather when the car is cold though. must be the oil heating up.

transmission fluid is cold and out of the optimum lubricating range (to put it simply) for reverse syncro engagement. Try putting the trans in 1st and then back to R. Otherwise, release clutch and try again.

That is usually what does the trick when I am in that situation, I am starting to just back it in at night
