Evan Purple240zt Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hey guys, I know this isn't z related but I trust everyone here for advice. My dad has a 1955 ford thunderbird that has a tranny that likes to slip when in reverse (for example, going uphill). What could cause this? Sorry its such a noob question, but I have no experience with auto trannies and would like to help him out! Trans fluid is topped off and full in park, at idle. Thanks - Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Worn bands, transmission needs a rebuild more than likely. Just poor some saw dust in it, it'll be fine.... (joking, don't actually do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan No, lathe filings are fine, just not saw dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
