Default Crunching into reverse

Hey guys, just going to give a heads up that I bought some full synthetic 75W-90 for my WS Fez to see if its going to fix up the issue with the crunching into reverse when the car is first started, have to book in the service, I might do it Friday next week, we'll see.

All IB-5 gearboxes do it mate. Just need to make sure you are stationary, put it in first before you try reverse and lift off the clutch slightly while pulling it into gear should be smooth as when you do that.

Does it while the car is sitting in the driveway, start the car with clutch in, try to put it into reverse and it crunches in and the car slightly moves.
