Hard Reverse

I just recently purchased a 1976 F100 with a 302 . When I purchased it the owner stated it needed new motor mounts. When you put it in gear the engine would jump. I replaced the motor mounts and putting it into drive is fine. But when I put it into reverse I still get this very hard shift. The tranny seems to shift fine. but that hard shift has me concerned. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Try putting it in low, then reverse. This should cure that. It could be idling too high or you just have a very tight torque converter.

have you checked the tranny mount?? its a good idea to change it when you change motor mounts just so you know its all mounted nice and secure...
