Hoping I don’t have to deal with that lol. But we don’t have too many places around here I trust for a rebuild. And I kind of need the truck done sooner than later. So time and money just makes sense to go used right now. The core is only $50. So I may even keep my trans for either a science...

I found a used one local. 93k miles for $500. Has a 90 day warranty so I figured it’s worth the try. Most I’ve read on these transmissions is they’re pretty stout so I figure a low mileage unit should be ok (knock on wood)

I didn’t take a picture before I cleaned it. I probably should have. And no the vehicle Only starts in park or neutral.

I ended up ordering a trans. Everything’s pointing at the forward clutches being welded together From what reading I have done. The truck is literally in drive in every gear. Including park.

Testing solenoids showed they are good. Found some shavings in the pan but truck has 218k miles. So not sure it’s anything out of the ordinary. I can’t find much info as far as what the trans does when shifted into reverse. Any help guys would be appreciated

I adjusted the kick down cable with no effect. Did a drain and fill with no effect also noticing the fluid didn’t smell burnt. Going to drop the pan today and check the solenoids

from what I gathered the solenoid b code has nothing to do with reverse though? But yes I do plan to do some testing

Alright guys I’ve got a question. Just brought home a 97 fzj80 with a “no reverse” issue. I put it on jack stands and noticed that my forward gears are fine. In neutral it acts like drive and will drive forward. If I put it in reverse it will lunge forward but then act like you hit the brakes...
