I've got a 1990 Honda Civic DX Hatchback (nicknamed The Shoe) and for some reason i can't get the sumbitch into reverse. At first I thought it was the clutch, but it won't even slide in when the car's off. I've been able to slide it into all other gears from inside and underneath The Shoe but reverse is just nothing. When I try to engage it when the engine is running it just grinds like a mofo and throws itself back into neutral. Anyone got any ideas?

could be, but i'm not sure, the night before it worked fine, went to class this morning, tried backin it up into the stall and it wouldn't go...hadda push it back in there...blocked traffic for about 3 minutes...which sucked...but yeah, i don't have enough money to go and buy this 1997 Civic i was looking at...so i need ideas for now

ok, just so it's now common knowledge: the car shifts (running or not) into all 5 forward gears just fine. when i attempt to shift into reverse, instead of hearing a 'click', it comes out more of a 'THUD' and the rod between the shifter and the transmission doesn't move fully forward (inside tran) as it would in 4th and 2nd. could this car just be in really massive need of a transmission overhaul?
