Park into Reverse

[tom4bren]

My TLC has always done that too, in fact when it finally decides to go into reverse, it makes a loud clunk & jumps a bit.

Since it's now sitting pretty at 1/4 million miles - I don't worry 'bout it anymore ... I just keep my foot firmly on the brake when shifting into reverse.

This is a common problem. Check your brake coonection to the release mechanism. I think some cold weather lube like graphite works here. It's all less complicated than it seems.

I'm pretty sure that my troubles on the TLC are because the Tranny computer doesn't talk to the ECM anymore. Crager, have you checked all electrical connections on the tranny & on the computer? May wanna check & make sure that your reverse lights work (that's one of the symptoms on the TLC).
