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. | ||

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. | ||
