well i need a bit more Welly in Reverse (automaic) If i shift into reverse it will creep along on the flat. but i wont respond to the gas petal. I like to back into my drive and the road out front has a small grade to it. so reversing up hill just now I had to have engine roaring.
I did just fill up the transmission fluid to minnimum. I need to go grab some more. the other clue is the revesl light is on when it looks like its in park. and I was just down rewireing the neutral safety switch. so what I nudge Bump or put out of alignment ?

yes I am ready to put this away for the winter.
