I just got my car fired back up with the rebuilt trans, converter,cooler and lines and got it filled up with fluid all gears work except reverse? Any ideas? I havent got ahold of the tranny guy yet. He is 4 hours away from me!


The low/reverse band circuit is the problem. Look at the rear servo,rear band strut, or a valve body issue. The servo and band can be air checked with the valve body removed. You may find a cocked or broken piston,missing band strut,or incorrect adjustment. As metioned some trans brake valve bodys need the brake applied to engage reverse.
Good luck Doug
