Reverse not working

[spyderman16]

I am having problems with reverse.
I studied the procedure, press the brake with it in 1st gear, press the "R" and it won't switch over to reverse.
anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks

you must go to neutral first, then reverse.

What year & model of Spyder do you have?

Are you a new owner?

Make sure you depress the R button squarely and fully.

2015 rs, yes I'm new to spyders....it has worked fine in the past, then 1 day nothing.
Thought maybe there was a fuse or something simple I was missing.
Thanks for the input.

I tried neutral too, that day nothing seemed to work like before.

this worked for me

I was having the same problem with my 2014 RT/S. I just got off the phone with someone in the service department here locally. He recommended I hold the reverse button, then just "flick" the gear switch to reverse. I know it sounds crazy. But I tried it, and it worked right away, like just minutes ago. Just a quick flick of the gear switch (holding reverse button).

Hope it helps you like it did me!!

Thanks for the advice......I will try again.

The key, is in making sure that you've got a nice, HEAVY thumb on the reverse button! nojoke
It can be easy to rock your thumb off of it, when finding the downshift paddle.

reverse problem

Happy to report the reverse is working fine, just more practice, it has to be in 1st gear, then you push the button and press down again, then pull up to go back into 1st, and away you go........
Thanks for all the suggestions
