there is a nice scorpio cosworth on ebay (s82 occ) silver saloon (not sure how to post onto here) but it says it has no reverse gear , says the forward gears are sweet , so why would it not reverse ? i know its a shot in the dark without knowing the full details but is this a common fault on scorpios ?
btw the starting bid is £1000 , god knows how much he`d want if it went backwards!!!!

I had a similar problem on my 2.9 when I bought it. Although it would engage reverse, it would take seconds and power transfer was next to zero when the box was cold.
According to the explenation I was given by the garage, the gearbox is most certainly ruined. I know mine was. Very costly repair.

Perhaps the decimal point is in the wrong place.

Pile of poop, he says "Cosworth Motor, goes like F@ck",
Not backwards it don't 
Bet it's got no third gear either if you could be bothered to drive it 
I've broke up nicer ones than that lol
lmfao

Hint ~ start at 100 see if anything happens. May have had a lot of money spent on it previously but no reverse gear is off-putting to say the least

Not if you have a multitude of spare gearboxs lying about . I doubt it will sell though. There seems to be quite a few coming onto the market at the moment & they seem to be going for pennies again
