Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1981 Rx7, standard transmission. I keep the car in my garage in the winter, but start the car periodically. However, I find that I cannot put the car in reverse until the car warms up considerably. What seems to be the problem?

Start with the basics, make sure you are using the correct weight transmission gear oil for cold temps. This may resolve your issues.
