722.120 Trans Losing Reverse
Reverse has been taking a long time to get moving for a while now. Better when warmed up. Fine for parallel parking, but no longer when it's uphill! Anybody with experience on this transmission that can tell me if this is fatal?
I've heard that an internal pressure leak could be causing a band to not engage fully, possibly curable w/out dropping the unit. Also heard that in the later boxes, this was due to deterioration of the reverse clutches, and is fatal. If clutches are the problem, I'll see abundant clutch material in the pan when I drop it.
Near Philadelphia if anybody has one of these, known to be good. (used in 116-bodied 300SDs)
