HAHA, ya, we were out of town this weekend. I actually found out WHY I didn't have reverse...and this little nugget of knowledge is FREE....I changed from a cast reverse drum to the STAMPED steel reverse drum and Mechanical Diode (ratcheting one way clutch) with 2 inch overdrive band....

Well, at any rate, I was researching WTF was going on with no reverse and realize that the cast reverse drum requires a reverse piston with the casting numbers beginning with RF-E0 cast numbers, the stamped drums use RF-E9 or F0 cast numbers. So I run down to the garage and LO AND BEHOLD...I've got the cast reverse piston in my STAMPED reverse drum. NO BUENO!!! So I have the new piston with new seals ready to go as soon as I can get the seal installer tools from my buddy in Columbus tomorrow!!!

Hopefully I'll have this trans back in there in the next day or so.
