1985 chevy corvette ginding noise in reverse fluid on the garge floor.

    Thanks, I have a 4-3 transmission. It only happens when I completely release the clutch. If I keep the clutch depressed it is not a bad.

    Grinding noise in an automatic is usually a planetary gear failure...leak or not it likely needs a rebuild.

    Is it only grinding in reverse? How well does it travel between other gears? Is your tranny an automatic?

Well in that case, there may be something wrong with the syncro's (not sure of the spelling) pronounced sing-crows, or possibly an issue with your flex pate. From what your describing, the clutch is not allowing the tranny to fully engage into reverse, wich can mean one of two things. The gears are not lining up because they are coming up shy of where they should be, or, they are passing where they need to be.

Reverse not working on 1985 chevy 1/2 ton pickup

I would have it flushed as the filter and fluid only get about 1/4 of the fluid and it sounds like there is a lot more sludge in there.

I have a 71 chevy pick up truck with a turbo 350

Make sure the fluid is at the proper level and the vacuum line is connected with no cracks or leaks.

If that doesn't do it, make sure the linkage is actually putting it into reverse. Of course you should only do this check with the car shut off.

Good luck.

I just bought a 1986 chevy 1/2 ton with a fisher plow. I hooked up the plow and it won't go up or down, or left or right. The controls work, if I move the pistons on the valve body it still does'nt work....

un bolt the motor from the base, the pickup is just tin, they rot off and fall into the base. you may have valves stuck too, but if nothings moving and pumps running, it should labor BADLY

1985 corvette coupe very hard start

There is a series of two videos addressing a very similar problem with a 1989 Corvette, first one diagnosis, second one fix. Seems like this is a not unusual problem for these older Corvettes. Check out the links.

300ZX 1985 Clutch

It sounds like your clutch master cylinder is not functioning correctly. First i would check the fluid level and then see if there is a leak.
