Try a transmission tuneup fluid like Seafoam / 16 oz. Automatic Transmission and Power Steering Tune Up $7.99 at Auto Zone. Run it for a while in gear and then try shiftion from forward to reverse. There is a valve that redirects the flow and it may be stuck or clogged. |

No luck with the Sea Foam,,,looks like pulling the tranny,,, got a fair price on a re-man tranny,,any info on removal/install. Not worried about the alignment,,but need how too on removal. |

Oil lines
Shift cable
Rear engine mounts
Shaft coupler
Neutral switch wires
6 mount bolts
I would look at getting this one fixed. Probably less $$ than a reman.
Bob is right, it is very possibly just a stuck component in the valve body. |
