reverse has no synchro, which is why it probably broke in the first place. you have to disengage the clutch for a while before u move forward while moving back ward, just like those old hot rods, or you will grind the tranny, it may not even make a grinding sound because reverse to first has a synchro but first to reverse doesnt, so sound or no sound your grinding. you the car has two teeth, im guesing he chipped one, theres still one left.
