havent experienced this, although maybe southern california cold starts are not the same as east coast ones :->

i used to have a 1991 LX 5.0 and it would regularly grind if i went directly into reverse, so i developed a habit of putting the car into a fwd gear before going to reverse. i do that even now with my R.

Yh happens sometimes , I usually put it in first then reverse

Haven't had that problem but probably haven't had too may cold starts in sub-freezing weather. Gear changes can be a bit balky until driven a mile or so on a really cold day.

It is quite a bit easier if you engage the clutch for a few seconds before the shift.

I do this.

You just have let go of the clutch, push it again, and try again. It will most likely go in ok...

Yea, that's what I had to keep doing. Was just curious if others have experienced this also. Thank's for all the replies.

Not unusual for this trans or any manual trans for that matter.

Mine does it time to time. I just let go of the clutch and pres it again and works fine.

My last 5.0 did it also.

Yes I have that issue sometimes.

It's happened to me a handful of times in the 3.5 years I've owned my GT350. Not necessarily more often when it's cold vs. hot as far as I can tell.

Yea, seems like I remember my 03 Cobra doing the same thing with that notchy T56.
