    I would check all the basics , but if you have a "weak" reverse , it generally means you have low main line pressure , not a good thing , indicates time to OVERHAUL . Main line pressure is HIGHEST in reverse , it is a basic step in a trans check , bad reverse engagement , low pressure . Have...
