Discussion:
transmission/ no reverse

I was tooling around fine today moving crates with this old bird and the transmission decided to have no reverse. I checked my hydraulic fluid and it is low(small leak at the side shift ram). would that be the problem or is it a worse scenario?

I would check the fwd/rev lever first. Then the wire harrness use to get damaged in behind the Brake and Inching pedals. Check the simple this first. My moneys on the lever assembly CAT #917401
