Auto Hubs 10-15 Feet in Reverse will disengage with push button off.
Manual Hubs turn to Free and that's it.
Tranny guy sounds like The Joker.

I got the truck fixed that same day i just got really busy and also excited to try out my truck again. But my uncle new what the guy was talking about but not with those speeds that the mechanic said. The mechanic had opened the transmission pan to check how the trany was well when he closed it and put new trany oil some of the shavings that it had got stuck between the gears so that is why it would not shift. So my uncle lifted the back and put it on drive going like 5 miles and hour than he would shift it to reverse to snap the shavings from the gear.at the same time i was hitting the trany with a ruber mallet softly to try to loosen it like that also. Than like 5 minutes later it was fixed and has not acted up since. Thanks for everyones help.

you need to drain the tranny again and replace the filter. any metal shavings in there will ruin it fast and if its an E4OD tranny that is the most expensive to have rebuilt. just dont take it back to that tranny guy.

just a note
if you drive your truck in reverse for 10 miles i surely would hope you could make it to the transmission shop that nitwit works at while you're their and only after you work the kink out of your neck you might want to tell him how much of a nitwit he is with a boot up his *** and then get your truck towed from there to a more repatable transmission mechanic where they would have recognized metal in the pan and flushed the transmission changed the filte and replaced with new fluid and you would have never experienced this particular problem

He meant MPH not Miles (even though it was written that way. Check his last post and you'll catch it. Not that that make sit any better slamming the tranny into reverse and then drive!!!
