RE: [Chrysler300] Reverse Gear Problem

[<john_nowosacki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both my 61 and 70 300's exhibit this behavior if left sitting for over a week.  I believe it is the torque converter draining down into the pan of the transmission.  The converter has to get filled back up again before the gears engage.

On my 61 this also causes a leak of fluid onto the floor, but not in the 70.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Reverse Gear Problem

 

  

The last three times I've gotten my "F" out, the transmission is not going into Reverse gear -- until after the car has run for 2-3 minutes. Nothing happens when Reverse is selected -- no noise, nothing. Drive works normally. 

After a couple of minutes, or more, if Reverse functions normally, and does for the rest of the day. It sits for a week or more between uses.

I've checked the fluid with it running and warmed up, seems to be right at the full mark. If it were a vacuum problem, it would affect Drive, I would think, and wouldn't go away after it has run for a few minutes.

Anyone else ever experienced this? Any suggestions/ideas as to what is causing this?
