Default Re: Power glide-no reverse

Talked to my tranny guy. He said it has a BTE universal input shaft that works with both the 2.08 set and the 1.76 set. He did mention to make sure the plunger is actually traveling the correct distance in the valve body. He said I would have to remove the pan, push the solenoid button manually and watch to see if the plunger is covering the channel completely. He did also mention the plate behind the tail shaft housing. There is supposed to be an aluminum/billet plate installed. If that plate is not there, you won't have reverse. I removed the transmission last night, and will be bringing it to him this weekend. Sure is a whole lot of work just to TRY a power glide in the car. I keep breaking the 400, so I'm finally trying some advise from the local racers and trying a power glide. But I am getting pretty proficient at removing and installing transmissions in the car. All for the love of racing.
