Reverse not engaging..Tranny Problem
Alright Guys here we go...
98 F150 automatic with a 4.6L. My truck just started not engaging into reverse. You have to rev up the engine a little bit and play around with drive and reverse before it engages. Really sucks. Tranny fluid appears to be fine, maybe a cup low. Not much at all. I was wondering what everybody thought about this. I heard ford had problems with their trannys. Is this true? I need some help!!! Thanks

Is it that the only problem? Once it gets in gear does it shift normally? Could it be the brake safety switch (not sure what it's called), it keeps the the tranny from being shifted into R without pressing the brake. Just an idea.

I have never heard of that brake switch thing where you have to have your foot on the break. When it finally gets to reverse it works fine. No problems in any of the other gears. Where is this break safety switch located???
