OK Here is 2 awsome auto tranny pdf's verry usefull!
I need 1 helpfull body tho.
IN this first chart..Applied elements and position.
http://www.transtec.com/tech_insert/94659.pdf
It says what sprag ,selenoid ,brake band and clutchs are enguaged in each specific gear right?
If you look at reverse and 1st gear,they are both sharing the same brake band,clutch and sprag ,AM I right?



So if 1st is dead,then rev should be also and vice versa...RIGHT?? I mean mechanicly speaking.

Im having a reverse slipping problem,but its wierd,it dont slip like regularly,it grinds a little right at first as it slips,then it catches.
Almost like a bad starter or selenoid..You know how they grind then catch?It feels like the driveshaft spline is stripped right around the tire area somehow,BUT ONLY IN HIGHER TORQUE APPLIED REVERSE SITUATION......IS THAT POSSIBLE????????

Heres the other pdf.
