So I went back under the car tonight doing some clean-up and I thought I'd feel around the bottom of the trans for any metal, and what do you know...... the ball!!

So for the heck of it, I assembled the reverse detent mechanism and the reverse arm now has the detents .... now I have to wonder why the ball was at the bottom of the trans...




I wondered about this when 1st reading this post. If the detent is removed in the car and the lever gets moved the ball can fall in. This will cause the problem you have. Do'nt ask how I know about it.
