There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

That's where I would also look first. I believe it is called the "shift actuator." Been there, done that.

So, how's this going Bob? It's been a few days. I understand that you have a MANUAL transmission, and that everything operates properly in the forward gears. When you push down on the Reverse button, it still doesn't let you go into reverse?
OK, so folks have had issues with the button just getting a little finicky and not going all the way down. Solved with a LITTLE spray silicon lubricant around the edge and exercise it. Plus, if you don't already, pull in the clutch with your left hand and operate the button with your right thumb. If all of that is ok, check fuse F7. Don't just look at it, but replace it with a good fuse. The reverse actuator and the optional trailer module are the only two things coming off that fuse.
Other wise, you will need to check out this mechanism underneath. Have someone operate the reverse actuator while you watch and see what's going on. Just may need to unplug the connector, spray it with contact cleaner and plug it back in. Possibly a cable adjustment is required, the cable broke, or the actuator may have failed. Highest probability is the button acting up or the fuse. Good Luck.
