Every once in a while when I put my disco in reverse it doesn't engage, so I put it in drive and inch forward and do it again and it engages. Has anyone else had this problem or have an idea if it's a sign that the trannys going? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

check the transmission fluid level first..........

 

It's got plenty of fluid, probably to much

 

Shift linkage is out of adjustment.

 

I'll look into it, thanks bro

 

2x on the shift linkage too....I repaired one on my buddy's 97 that the trunion(?) ....threaded piece of the linkage was rusted,seized and wouldnt pivot ...made shifting fun

 

Thanks for the advice. I'm putting a new catalytic y pipe on this afternoon. I'll do some looking around while I'm under there

 

while your at it check the kick down cable adjustment. Its the cable under the throttle cable at the throttle body. The clip on the metal cable should be within 1 mm of the plasic straw thing over the metal cable.

 

that helped me with the tranny clanking when put into drive or reverse so its worth checking just in case.
