Car had been running fine. Got in it this morning and no reverse, when put in reverse it shook all over like in between gears,now when in neutral it goes forward and even when I give it the gas in park it will lunge forward before it dies.

First I would check the vacuum modulator. A vacuum leak or a bad modulator can cause some of these types of problems.

Rebuilt this tranny,now goes in reverse fine,but barely goes in forward gears! What could be the problem?
I read somewhere that if rebuilt with new parts I should use dexron instead of type F
I filled mine with type F,could this be the problem?Last edited by Guest; June 1, 2013, 07:41 AM.Comment

I've had both Dexron and Type F in my trans and it shifts fine with both. I doubt that's your problem. Did you drain your torque converter. It usually takes awhile for it to refill where it will shift correctly. If it's not that then something wasn't put back correctly. Are you sure you have vacuum to the modulator.

TYPE F ATF can be interchanged with DEXRON ATF with no adverse effects other than a more firm shift. Depends on whether you want a comfort ride or a more performance feel.
What you cannot do however is introduce DEXRON into a TYPE F transmission (defined by friction materials used) unless the transmission has been rebuilt using more modern friction materials (non-asbestos).
It sounds as though you have an internal fluid flow problem if all of the shift linkages are adjusted correctly and in serviceable condition.Comment
