Where is reverse?...

:cheers:This has been a learning experience for me... Even thought I was told my 4 speed tranny was a 71, I've learned that it is a 76 4 speed OD type... The reverse shift lever on the tranny case is in the down position, which is what caused the reverse to be to the left and down (shift knob hits stearing wheel also)... That should be in the up position to correct the reverse pattern... But, I also understand that the 1-2 case lever should be up and the 3-4 should be in the down position on the OD tranny, only... On my tranny the 3-4 lever is also up as on the pre 75 regular 4 speed... Which means when I shifted from 2nd to 3rd I was actually going into 4th (that explains the engine loading) and when I shifted to 4th, I was going into 3rd... How do you like them apples... Hey, if I flip the 1-2 lever, I can have a totally flipped shift pattern... Thank you every one for their help and the web site: http://www.slantsix.org/articles/4-speeds/ODA833fourspeed1.htm
