I have a 94 sl dohc with auto tran. my problem is it will not pull in reverse . Ive been told that it is the valve body .if so what is involved in changing it? and where is the best place to find one ?can some one please help me with some info or maybe some pics. ?thanks for any help!!!!!

 

VALVE BODY MAYBE, BUT FIRST OFF I WOULD TRY TO JUST TIGHTEN THE REVERSE GEAR CLUTCH. THEY ARE KNOWN FOR GETTING LOOSE AND CAUSING THE SYMTOM YOU MENTIONED. TAKE IT TO A SATURN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM TIGHTEN THE NUT.

 

do you know where this nut is located ? can I not tighten it myself ? thank you for your help.

 

jack up the left side of the car as high as it will go,put on jack stands, put jack under transmission, lossen driver side of engine cradle and take top shock bolts off, remove inner fender and you will see the side of the tyransmission. remove the side of the transmission. the part you will see is the transmission clutch. grind down a 15\16 deep socket until it will go int the whole. tighten it back up by using an impact on it and impact the hell out of it. now put it back together

 

HEY OTTJOE CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME THE PICS. THAT YOU HAVE OF THE BOLT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN HELP ME THANKS ALOT FOR ALL THE FAST INFO
