I have just started to drive this car after restoration (have gone 35 miles). The transmission was rebuilt with new gears, shafts and bearings. It sounds Ok, and shifts underway OK also. I have heavy 600W oil in the gear box. But, every once in awhile, backing up a slight incline (the drive train has a load on it) and I stop, with the clutch depressed, it is very difficult to get the transmission out of reverse. Does the transmission have to be broken in? What causes this to happen? With the car on level ground & stopped, you can easily shift through all the gears.Thanks for your help? Ed
