At this point I feel like there has to be something else at play here, I just can't make any sense at all of no wheel movement in reverse even freewheeling on jack stands. When I put it in reverse you can tell there is a load being out on the engine, I know something is happening but still no movement. Doesn't matter if I go for reverse immediately after I start it, or let it get warm then try, or leave it in reverse for a couple minutes or rev the engine up, still nothing. I have rebuilt automatic transmissions before and seen some very fried clutches and even that bad the trans would still move when cold or at least attempt to, enough to move the wheels in the air on stands for sure.
