Hard reverse engagement when warm 1984 500 SEL

Hello Friends,

I have a hard reverse engagement and dissengagement when the transmission is warm. It also takes a long time for the shift to occur when I move the shifter from P to R and when I move the shifter from R to another position it dissengages very quick.

I think I read a post somewere that this was probably a leak in one of the accumulators but I havn´t found that thread again.

Anyone recognises the problem and know how to fix it?

Many thanks,
