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?
HIS: '68 GMC 3/4 ton pick-up truck, '73 Barracuda, '87 Firebird, '01 Jeep Cherokee and finally a '70 Barracuda Convertible!
HERS: 1980 Toyota Starlet, 1995 SAAB 9-5 and then '01 SAAB 9-3 and currently '08 Saab 9-3 convertible!
NEXT IS MINE: purple 2010 Dodge Challenger!!!

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
