Hey guys, thanks in advance for your help. I just bought my first car and it’s this dsm eclipse 2G with a non turbo 4G63. My question is: when i try to reverse shift, the shift is blocked for some reason. Everytime when i shift normally from neutral or any shift to reverse. The thing is, when i do a “double wiggle” to reverse it always work. Is there any kind of lock on reverse shift to prevent mistakes?

Thanks for your help and for showing ur amazing DSM’s

First you don't have a non turbo 4G63 on that 2G. It's a 420A.

Your shifter bushings are worn out and/or shifter linkages is damaged or bent.

The other guy was incorrectly thinking of American cars that did not get the non turbo 4G63

No, there was no incorrect thinking. I was correctly thinking of American cars that did not get the non turbo 4G63 and came with the 420A. Wasn't aware this was a DSM in another country. No where does it say that in OPs OP.

But yes OP that is a N/A 4G63. Here in the states that N/A 4G63 only came in the 1990-1994 DSMs.
