Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI part 2

Hello guys I posted a while back about my new car that I got for £90 including 4 months road tax.

As this is a 1998 car it has a few faults which I have sorted but there is one that I am not to sure if it is worth fixing.

When I put the car into reverse gear it sends shudders through the car does anyone know if this is a gearbox failure or a simple fix.

Its been a great car this is the only big fault except the syncro being worn on 1st gear.

Any ideas why it is cruching or even how to fix it guys ?

thanks

Do they have a synchro on reverse?

Anyway, when selecting reverse, depress the clutch, wait 2/3 seconds, then engage reverse. Should be smoother.

gearbox mountain? gear selector? some cars in general have a rough reverse (grind and followed by a shudder my sisters 02 plate ren megane cab has done it since new) gear but could be signs of gearbox wear n tear. bought for 90 i'd run it into ground then sell spairs or repair.

It sounds like a gearbox mount. They're not too expensive and relatively easy to fit but you'd need to know that is the problem first. I had one so bad on an old Golf I could lift the engine up a fair bit!
