Grinding into reverse

[4x4withcheese]

95 Manual trans fill plug

Hey I know this is unrelated to this specific thread but the site won't let me post yet because I don't have enough responses posted so - I haven't been able to check the transmission fluid on my 1995 4x4 manual 4runner with the 3L V6 because I don't know where the fill plug is or what it looks like. I haven't found anything on the internet about these transmissions; can anything tell me what this plug looks like and where it's located?

The problem is reverse does not have a synchro. The simple solution is to put the vehicle in fifth using the Synchro then reverse will go in like butter.
If you still get grinding on the fifth gear your clutch is not engaging correctly or your synchros are shot

I agree. I used to have an Alfa Romeo that would grind when I put it in reverse. I always slippped into 5th first and then put it in reverse. Smooth as a school marm's thigh.

24mm on the driver's side. Not the hex key on the passenger side.

You likely have the R150F transmission unless someone changed it on you.

Hi also new member working on minimum post count. Got a '88 3.0L V6 (3VZE) and I honestly just have a really loud pinging/knocking when I'm in neutral. Recently refilled/replaced gear oil in transmission, transfer case, and rear diff and it has made no difference. Am I worrying over nothing or is this a serious issue?

Don't know if this needs to be said but it is a manual transmission.

grinding into reverse can also be due to an incorrectly adjusted clutch, ie its not disengaging all the way. Sometimes bleeding the system can solve that.
