No reverse...

[timsterGTS]

Hope to get a helping hand here... Have a 68 dart GTS, 727 torque flight, cheetah manual reverse valve body. Car's been sitting for a few (5-6) years. Just brought her back to life, and have no reverse.

Dropped the pan and valve body. Manual pressure test on rear servo seemed fine. Manual pressure test on front clutch apply port using 90 psi resulted in air and milky trans fluid coming out of rear clutch apply port. No thud of clutches heard. Hmmmmm.

Normal? Front clutch malfunctioning?

Thanks guys....

If the fluid is milky, that's a moisture indicator. Could be there's rust there too. You might try putting it back together and running it back and forth through the gears on the shifter rather vigorously. You might luck up and jar it loose. Or perhaps even just get out and drive it.

It needs to come out. You can put damn near any chemical in an auto trans from laquer thinner to mineral spirits to brake fluid and it won't hurt the clutches. But water will dissolve the adhesive used to attatch the clutch material to the disc.
