UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Turn the main live input around on the starter motor. (Thick wire from the battery to the starte rmotor.)When your selecting reverse the selector on the outside of the gearbox is shorting to this positive connection.Be careful: If you leave the car in reverse the battery positive lead will melt causing a fire.
