trans slipping in reverse when hot
Hello to everyone on this site,just joined last nite,I posted a question but it didnt show up so here it goes again,I have a 1997 f 350 that I just bought not long ago,well anyway the other day we went for a ride to a shooting range when I went to back up I had no reverse,had to put it 4 wheel drive to get it to back up,after about 3 hours of target shooting we left and thought that reverse was gone but after it cooled off it had reverse again,it shifts just fine in foward,what would cause this,

it does seem to have a bit of rear rear wear,ya know how you can kinda feel the gears meshing its a bit hard to explain,but it generally called backlash,my ford 150 has had the same rear symtom for the last 65000 miles so it may not be that either,

trans slipping in reverse
when I posted my question,I should have said when the trans is up to normal operating temp,the trans goes into reverse fine when I first start it up,drive an hour or so and then I have little to no reverse,

that's really weird... have you ever flushed your rear diff?? maybe all the fluids are too old and watery so once it heats up it thins out and for some reason only slips in reverse???? idk i'm still just throwin ideas out there haha
