Re: Overdrive.... Reverse

Does the trans lever not go into reverse or does the car not move once there?


A sleeve in the OD has to move to lock two sections together to eliminate the overrunning clutch and is operated either by the lockout lever or by the reverse shifter in trans. That pushes a rod into OD case to move the sleeve. There are also some springs involved so that area would be one place to look.

It sounds as if either the sleeve is binding, springs may not be strong enough or the shifter rod is not moving enough. If the overrunning clutch can't lock out, things are moving internally the opposite direction needed to lock the clutch so effectively nothing will be connected to drive shaft.
