560trans

yes you are.the large set of clutches in the case are reverse gear and they are always the first to go.you probably experienced nice cool weather and nothing was up to temp yet hence the delay.the good news is that this can be fixed without stripping the whole trans.i call it a mini rebuild and usually done in 2 days.although you say that trans had service before you got the car ,it was probably it's first and only therefore the wear in reverse.
