My 80 pops out of reverse when reversed for more than 25 yds or so and then re-engages. The shift lever doesn't move. It has 137k mls and has been well maintained and is not low on AT fluid. Any thoughts.
Cheers, Brent
I think Dan attempted to steer you into actually telling us what happens, and you didn't take the hint. So I'll repeat his kind attempt a little more directly:
WHAT DOES THE TRUCK DO? REV? LURCH? WHISTLE? HOWL? CLUNK? COME TO A FULL STOP FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE YOUR FOOT IS ON THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE'S REDLINED AT 5500 AND THEN EASE OFF WHILE PUTTING OUT CLOUDS OF SMOKE? WHAT??????????
OK!! While driving in reverse (without reving the hell out of it)the tranny just stops reversing and finds (a false??) neutral at which time I ease off and the vehicle stops...it then re-engages reverse. I'll try to get it to do it again today and listen/ feel for more clues.
Cheers, Brent
Hey, let's take it easy on the new guy . Based on Brent's first post it is reasonable to suspect that his tranny is not maintaining the line pressure necessary to keep reverse gear engaged.
Based on recent posts regarding the occasional need to replace shift solenoids in the older style tranny it is reasonable to suggest this as a possible cure.
I expect any decent tranny shop can quickly diagnose the problem. The tricky part is to know which are decent.
Thanks to all for your responses. To answer a few of the questions; I don't reverse faster than 5mph or so, I have a 100yd driveway that must be driven in reverse upon occation.
I will try to find a reputable tranny shop to diagnose the problem, thanks Rich for the insight. Brent
