Thanks MERCRON, the fluid is okay and Ive changed it repeatedly to revive the old trans which has/had a bad reverse gear. Forward gears are fine. I used castrol for high mileage which helped, then flushed with the tranex product which brought back reverse for a while but then it dissapeared again. I replaced the fluid again and added blue devil stop leak with the Pentosin trans fluid that I put in this time, with new filter too. Then I overfilled a bit and reverse was good but the forward gears began slipping, NO FOURTH at all! So I drained out all the fluid and put back only enough to reach the mark and it was good again. It ran for about six months this way but I began backing uphill into a work space and this took its toll and lost reverse again. So I treated again with blue devil and now reverse is back and I do not back up hill ever! I head in up hill and then let it back out downhill only! It will also back up on the level but sometimes chatters viciously..And a rebuild is beyond the value of the car now since I had a smash up in the ice and snow this winter. Its put together passably but will never be truly right again. So yeah, Ive flushed the fluid and used Lucas
stop slip and also the blue devil with BD being the one that really makes a difference. 215K on the trans if its original.
