Auto tranny shifting issues
My reverse seems to be going, or gone. I could not get the truck to move the other day after sitting in a slightly downward facing parking spot. After racing the engine a few times and letting it sit for about another 5 minutes, is inched its way out of the spot in reverse. When I got it home, I decided to back it into a space first and that seemed to work with no problems and I haven't tried it since.
I did have the fluid changed a few months ago and it has not seemed to have had any trouble until now.
The trans is a rebuilt one from about 5 years ago.
From reading your posts, it could be the reverse solenoid?
The problem has just sprung up with no indication of any problem prior.
Can you help?

Robinhood - I realize you are fairly new to FTE, but you should have started a new thread with your post. You are requesting help for an automatic transmission while the Original Poster (OP) is seeking help on a 5 speed manual tranny. Unless someone happens to read thru OP's entire post and replies, they will not see your post.
Just a helpful suggestion from a long time FTE user. By the way, welcome to FTE.

Anyway @ the OP, since the problem came about when you were on a slope, have you checked the tranny fluid level, with the tranny at operating temp, say after a 10 mile out & back trip, after shifting into All gears, including R, long enough for each gear to engage & all that with the vehicle on level ground, at warm idle & in "P", or "N"????
If the tranny fluid level & condition of the fluid is ok, when its acting out, do you have a flashing OD light???? If so, you likely have trouble codes set in the tranny computer/controller, so have a trusted tranny shop scan the tranny computer/controller for trouble codes & post All code Numbers, as they can offer up good trouble shooting clues.
If you don't want to pay to have that done & you have an ELM scantool, or the like, or know someone who does, that can access the tranny controller/computer, have it scan all of the vehicles controllers for trouble codes & post All code Numbers. Let us know what you find.

Thanks Pawpaw. I didn't know we as ordinary users of FTE could do with a posting what you have done with this one. How do you do it? This is a good tool to know about when helping users who are new to FTE.
