Oldsoul79:
Hey everybody.  New to the group. I have a 1976 silverado 20 with auto transmission 4x4.  This is my ranch truck for doing chores and stuff. Not too long ago I would have to hive it lots of gas when in reverse to go. Now it will not go anywhere in reverse.  Drive,1 and 2 are great. Any ideas and how her is the fix?
I'm good with stuff but struggle with vehicle mechanics.

VileZambonie:
Check the fluid level first....

Oldsoul79:
I checked it and it was good. Thanks

Captkaos:
original trans, is the fluid discolored or smell burnt?

JohnnyPopper:
You didn't mention 3rd gear. Does it slip too?

Do you hear a whine coming from the trans when at operating temp?

If yes and fluid is brown/burnt, possible your filter is clogged.

Or your internal seals are bad. Cheap fix is trans sealer, but if you haven't serviced the trans in a while do that first. New filter and oil.
