reverse gear not working in automatic transmission Page 159

Ah, the classic "reverse gear refuses to engage" conundrum—automatic transmissions can be a diva sometimes. Common culprits include low or dirty transmission fluid, a faulty shift solenoid, or even a worn-out reverse clutch pack. Sometimes, the transmission control module (TCM) might be throwing a tantrum, preventing reverse from engaging.

Typical symptoms include the car slipping into neutral or simply not moving backward when you hit reverse. Fixes range from a fluid change (cheap and cheerful) to a full transmission rebuild (hello, wallet!). Here are the usual suspects:

• Low or contaminated transmission fluid
• Faulty shift solenoid
• Worn reverse clutch pack
• Malfunctioning transmission control module (TCM)
