No reverse

[Joe Dirte]

1. Slow, slipping or no reverse: low/reverse clutches are worn out, fluid leak in the reverse apply circuit, or broken sun shell. It is possible to remedy a fluid problem by removing the check ball from its cage in the case in the rear of the trans may help (must remove valve body), or adding a high-viscosity additive such as Lucas Transmission additive or other seal restorer product.

So is there anyway to diagnose this without diggin into the trans?

Info: 98 k1500. Took on quick test run for first time in few months after doin intake and mpfi upgrade. Checked n topped off all fluids. Shifted thru gears ok. Turned around in a driveway and backed out no problem. Bout hour later i go to run to town in it and reverse is almost a second park. Truck pulls forward fine, let it coast backward in nuetral then put in reverse it stops.

I just realized i threw a granatelli MAF on for a test of my maf. Could that thing be messin up my reverse since it and o2s on same circuit as trans?

Not sure about the reverse issue, but I'd definitely throw a factory MAF back on regardless. Those aftermarket MAFs really screw with the tuning. I doubt it will help the reverse problem but it's worth a shot.

Dropped pan, new fluid n filter, cleaned out pan and reinatalled. Also put in a factory maf. I got truck on stands and when i put it in nuetral the drive tire takes off pretty fast like in low1. Am i maybe havin an electrical or linkage issue?

Rear wheels are tough as hell to spin my hand. Wonder if the diff is crappin out n thats my issue? Motor seems to struggle when i put it in reverse
