reverse welly Gromit?

[Sopwith_Camel]

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.

the neutral safety / inhibitor switch is either wired incorrectly or not adjusted correctly.

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

ok ill check that next. good thing there is an access panel.

[Sopwith_Camel]

well it will start in any position. revers light only in reverse.

 

[Exotexs]

should only start in Park or Neutral, that is the idea behind the Neutral Safety Switch.

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

oh i know about it from my volvo.
the wires look to be on in the right order on the switch
and the leaver is in the right spot for reverse accoding to the hanes manual

 

[Exotexs]

Hanes manuals are a joke, why don't you get the Factory Service Manual? What type transmission do you have? BW35?

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

yes its a type 35.
im going to check all the electrical connections, but thats all I have time for, it gose in to storage tomarrow for the winter.
yes good idea i'll put the service manual on my xmass list.
