Year: 1967 Engine: 289 V8 Transmission: 3 speed automatic
I started my car this morning and after a brief period of warming up, put it into reverse. Low and behold, the car did nothing, or rather acted like it was in Neutral. After testing I found all the forward gears work as suspected, but it still won't engage in reverse. If anyone has any insight as to probable causes and fixes, please let me know.
Thank you in advance
You're welcome.
Oh, I guess you want to know that the reverse band in yur C4 trans broke. Rebuild time.
You have to pull back on the reins and say softly "back... back up now" Hope you get it fixed, sounds expensive.

Probably in the $500-$700 depending on who does it.
Thanks all for the advice, Just wanted to make sure that is what happened. Actually I've been waiting for something like this to happen for sometime (My excuse to change to a manual transmission).
Short stroke engines work much better with sticks. It will be worth the effort.
