    Slow Reverse Speed
    « on: December 17, 2008 - 08:51:41 PM »
    360ci / 727 automatic: When I put the car in reverse from a cold start, I have to give it a ton of gas to get her to back up.  This is not the case when she is warmed up.  Any suggestions?

    Try putting it in neutral first and wait for the converter to pump up. Dont rev it up in rev, it's not good for the trans
