HELP!!! z32 wont go in reverse after transmission change
 

well today I changed an automatic transmission in a 1990 z32 the used automatic with 90K miles i got from z32 2+2, as i put the auto tranny from 2+2 into a 2 seater everything seems to be working except that it goes forward in NEUTRAL, drive and 2 and 1st but wont got into reverse anywhere even when i try to push it i had no problems replacing the transmission everything seemed to be fine but it wont go in reverse is it my linkage or the used transmission i got might be bad please help :(

Adjust the linkage. If that doesn't fix it then pull and test the solenoids.

ok thanks mancan you give specific detail on how to test those tranny solenoids?

ok i tried to adjust the shift linkage but that didn't do crap so i disconnected the shift rod started the engine lifted the rear up got under the car shifted into reverse the wheels spun forward and then stopped :022: help....

Check the FSM for linkage adjustment, did you pull the linkage and shift the trans into gear by hand?

yes i did i also shift it by hand i also tore the bottom apart tested 3 out of 5 solenoids were bad i replaced them put everything back together put the fluid in started the engine put it in reverse wheels spun forward and grinded to a halt again... i think that reverse pressure clutch plate set thingy is broken to rebuild that transmission is $2100 (basically priceless) this car is pissing me off i am not good with automatics i hate them and every car in my house except this one ether a convert or came with manual i am about ready to rip the automatic off and slap a clutch assembly and manual tranny on it less problems
