just pulled my trans out of my 91 420sel.same problem only mine was so bad that in order to make car move in reverse you needed someone to give a little push.anyway,it was exactly what i suspected-----no meat left on the reverse clutches.apparently my timing was perfect as no marks on the steel plates either.3rd gear drum clutches still had part numbers on the surface and were good.there were no issues with forward speeds so replaced reverse and drum and band,put back front pump and it drives fine with instant reverse engagement.while trans was out i found my pesky oil leak at the rear main seal so threw a new one in.
