big hesitation in reverse

[DoubleDpsd]

It's almost like it's engaging and disengaging. It started with a delay when I put into Reverse earlier in the day, followed by a slight stutter right when I gave it a little pedal in reverse that smoothed out quickly. I could make it stutter more/worse the more pedal I gave it right after the delay.

I had to back it out of the driveway and I waited for delay and let off the brake to let it push itself back a little bit but it would barely move so I gave a little push on the pedal and it was like a romping, it would barely back up, like it was engaging and disengaging. I had to limp it out of the driveway.

I didn't notice any noise from the trans area. I could slightly hear the motor revving while it wasn't backing up then sounded normal when it would engage but it was a noticeable BUMPing while slightly on the gas in reverse. I stayed steady on the pedal as I backed up about 50ft and it barely smoothed out with about 10ft left but it was a noticable chugging/hesitation that made it almost impossible to back it up.

Tow/haul never blinked.

Saving for a trans build now along with other fun things planned for this summer.

Making progress with this. Just ordered a couple solenoids. Crossing fingers that's it. But here is a clip I had my neighbor take hoping it would shutter enough to pick up in camera.

well I can tell you the direct clutch isn't controlled by a solenoid during reverse engagement, the manual valve is responsible for this.

Thanks Matt. Did you watch this clip I got of it. Look for flare followed by bang into gear at 13seconds and again at 16 seconds.

I'm worried about driving it because even in Drive if I come to a complete stop it might not want to go when I give it some pedal, it lugs and barely moves like it's in 5th or 6th then the rpm's will rise and it will drop a gear and seem normal.

I'm having a very similar problem. Did you ever figure anything out?

Nope. Gonna swap in another 5r from an 05 in the next week or two. Also researching what iwill need to put a 4r behind it. Got time
