Hi guys,
My late 1982 Euro 635CSI has a "lazy" reverse and has a hard time reversing at all uphill. Also, at high rpm the gears will stick. At low or part throttle, gears change normally and when needed it also reduces gear normally. I researched here in the forum and online and I read Shogun's descriptive work on the "F" clutch pack, among other things.
in light of these problems I ordered a master rebuild kit from ZF and replaced all those parts on the tranny. I did not touch the TC nor did I touch the valve body. I did replace the filter and fluid.
Put everything back together and the lazy reverse persists. I haven't tested gear change at high rpm yet.
Could the problem be the valve body only? I did not open the valve body but did not see any trace of gunk on it. Plus, since this is the early version of the 4hp22, there are no solenoids, it's purely hydraulic.
Could the culprit of my problem be limited to the valve body and maybe TC?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
