weird no reverse problem...

Well i havent had reverse for a few months now lol... but anyways i was bored yesterday and i know the reverse slightly works it inches very slowly.. but i bored enough to see what happens if i got it to go faster... id say around 5-10 mph the tranny caught and just started going... WTF???

soo i tested it even more with a larger space to back up... it seemed to move alittle bit faster in reverse now lol... makes me think it something simple thats broke in it... any ideas??

Clutch packs wearing out? It costs more to find out than to replace it.

Take it to a tranny repair place and get an expert opinion.
