Does the vehicle have overdrive? If so, check for a failure of the reverse lockout circuit.

Hello all, In my opinion, if the gearchange linkage is moving the physical position of the Reverse gear into mesh, which I believe that it is doing, then basically the only reason for no reverse drive is that the Overdrive lockout cable has not pulled the lockout sleeve over the sun and planetary gearset in the overdrive unit. Moving the gearshift lever into reverse starts to engage the lockout sleeve but with a bit of wear, it doesn't quite start to engage the sleeve. I would check under the vehicle ( without the engine running and with a hoist or suitable ramps..of course), to see if the lockout lever on the RH side of the OD section is moving fully forward as sometimes the cable clamp may have slipped and the cable is not operating correctly. Good Luck. Peter T

If it does have OD check out the reverse lockout as O_D mentioned. That was an issue caused by the R9 ODs electrical system and was covered in a service article.
https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/SC/SC-VOL21NO15.pdf There is also another article pertaining to a failure with the lockout sleeve Peter Packard mentions.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/SC/SL-VOL17NO21.pdf

Thanks guys for all the helpful replies.
This 1947 Clipper is not registered Here on PackardInfo. The overdrive is not engaged. I think it is disconnected at the solenoids. This Clipper is my brothers in MO. I am in SD, so I'll pass on your ideas. I haven't been to Missouri since the pandemic. I'll get some photos and register his machine. You have been so helpful in my 12 years of Owning my 1941 Clipper. I'll restart our blog soon.

There are two systems that operate the overdrive - electrical and mechanical. The mechanical system needs to lockout the OD. Good advice here to assure the lockout cable is fully moving the arm on the OD unit. Operating the car in reverse with the OD engaged will cause severe damage to the OD unit.
