I install a shift kit from FLT today and now my reverse is acting kinda strange. When you first put it into reverse it and give it a little gas, it kinda studders, kinda like it is popping in and out of gear..... But then again it kinda acts like the rear brakes are locking and unlocking.... BTW I had gears installed today... I adjusted my tune via EFI live for the new gears, so that is not a problem..

I am kinda thinking that something in the rear brakes is messed up.... Another thing is that if you put it in gear and let your foot off the brake and coast the rear makes a wierd sound, kinda like an old warn out belt....

Any Ideas...

 

my money is on a problem with the shift-kit install or the gear install.

That sucks tho, hopefully someone knows whats goin on. only in reverse tho huh?

 

Thanks performabuilt gave me a couple of ideas to go check..

 

I fixed the wierd reverse noise, I forgot to tighten 3 8mm bolts on the back of the tranny that bolt directly to the space plate, kinda below the valve body. I guess I over looked them when I put on the valve body.

Performabuilt pointed me in the right direction!!!

 

Super and dont feel bad its a comon mistake I have actually done it myself

 

Good to hear you found it, that was my first thought for the problem. I think I tightened those bolts about ten times in fear of forgetting them.

 

cool easy fix.

 

Yep the fix as not that bad, only problem is the tranny fluid spill down my driveway. I guess I need to break out the pressure washer again...

Thanks for all the help yesterday Eric, I could not done it without your guidance!!! I really appreciate it!

 

cool. glad it wasn't more severe.
so what happens with those loose it can't build enough pressure in reverse?

 

Causes a massive leak at the reverse piston feed,
