Driving forward is fine, but reverse will do what the title says in reverse when I get on the gas. Any ideas? Thanks.
Only when moving or will it do it if you hold the brake on?88XJ_FireFighter said:Driving forward is fine, but reverse will do what the title says in reverse when I get on the gas. Any ideas? Thanks.

I ask because I'm think broken motor mount or a fuel pickup problem.88XJ_FireFighter said:haven't tried that. So far just when I get on the gas while reversing.

I think you need to make some tests first, theory alone can't fix it.88XJ_FireFighter said:I thought about those two last night. Wouldn't fuel related effect driving forward too? Motor seems to be sitting staight.
what he said...ChiXJeff said:Check your bellhousing bolts. I ran into a gent a few years ago with a similar problem. When he was moving in reverse, the CPS would move and fail to pick up the notches on the flywheel/flexplate. Going forward was apparently no problem.

Have someone watch the engine when you reverse with the brakes on and see if it moves, also put a wench on the bolts. A cracked bellhousing could also cause it. We know it's not in the gas tank now.88XJ_FireFighter said:I did this and same thing. Just seems to cut in and out as soon as I get on the gas in reverse. I can idle in reverse and its fine. Just when gas is applied.

I'm betting on lose bellhousing bolts or a cracked bellhousing.
The bellhousing is the big aluminum casting that connects the back on the engine to the transmission.88XJ_FireFighter said:Bellhousing...?? Help me out langer1. I'm not a big engine guy yet.

He said he don't know what a bellhouseing is, so a TC TB and flexplate is not going to help him much. Sounds like he's not a do it yourselfer just yet.dizzymac said:MIne used to do this. When I brought it in for a TC change we found I had a cracked flexplate. While waiting for the plate to be delivered we did a little PM, found the bolts were missing out of my airtube where it mounts on the TB, replaced them and flexplate checked wiring for CPS, put it all back together and never had the "cut-out" in reverse again.
