comment on your statement of "hard to get" gears
do you mean that selection is hard
the selector lever is hard to move
gears have no synchro action when changing gears
hard to get into first and reverse
Your reverse gear is actually first gear ... when you select reverse another 'cog' fits into the toothed wheels to change the direction of first gear ... to give you reverse...
It may be a sticky valve or just a bit of adjustment (workshop job..) that is required.
What you can try ..
Start the car ... move the lever through all the positions several times (foot on brake..). Keep your foot on the brake and then put it in reverse and rev the car. Hard!
Try doing it several times.
An auto transmission works on valves opening and closing. Reverse gear - in comparison with the forward gears - is seldom used. The reverse valve can 'stick'. Try forcing it to open ... frighten it ... but keep your foot on the brake...
The problem is that by driving in 4wd on hard surface you experience what is known as torque wind up in the transmission, transfer case and drive lines. This loads up the gears so an actuator cannot move a selection until the torque wind up is reduced (reverse or shunt back)
IT is not a problem if you are on slippery roads , gravel, grass or any surface where the tyres can slip and relieve the wind up
If you persist in the practice of driving in 4wd on hard surfaces then be prepared for transfer case , drive line problems well before expected wear time.
Hi i just ran a wire from the rear of the tail light its not hard to do or you can run it from the transmission switch which is were your Tbar where you select your gears
The designer 1 has a weakness of the reverse pad (rubber button set) on left side of the machine wearing out and not working. You can try pushing from different angle, or pushing hard, but it most likely needs to be replaced. If you did buttonholes with the buttonhole sesor foot (foot with a wheel and a cord that plugs in), it would automatically size the buttonhole and you wouldn't need to reverse and you can use "FIX" to tie a knot instead of reverse
