Hey all;
Now that I am about to embark on the renovation of my '79 Spitfire, I 
thought I might share this problem with the group.  The last couple of 
years that I drove my Spitfire (and that was three years ago) I was 
experiencing the following problem:
The shifter would go into reverse fine if the engine was cold or off.  
However, after it warmed up the only way to get it into reverse without 
"grinding a few pounds", was to shut the engine off, shift into reverse, 
then restart it.
I am a Physicist and not an auto mechanics guru, so pardon my seemingly 
"dumb" questions as I now learn what I would have liked to learn many 
years ago.
