Reverse gear

Hi all. Came off the highway in the '83 SWB diesel conversion, prepared to back into the driveway and no reverse.
Still engages forward. Checked fluid, down about quart and a half, added fluid, still no reverse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Reverse gear

Automatic or manual transmission? If it's an automatic (722.3), losing reverse means that you have a rebuild in your future.

Re: Reverse gear

Yup, I was afraid of that! Where is the best place to get that done?

Re: Reverse gear

That model tranny was notorious for reverse going out. Mine was totally replaced and a friend's also.

Re: Reverse gear

Was thinking of replacing it with a sedan trans. Good idea or not?

Re: Reverse gear

Sedan transmission is totally different sub-type of the 722.3. In fact, there are dozens of variants of the 722.3.

Get your transmission redone at Sun Valley Transmission in southern California. Marc is the guy who runs it. You can Google them.
