TH350 prob: Reverse wont work unless
when it gets hot my TH350 will not go into reverse unless I hit the throttle a little... then it bangs into reverse. by HOT i mean operating temp (160-170*) while COLD everything works fine. reverse is the only gear affected, ALTHOUGH 3rd somtimes when HOT (operating temp) 3rd will come in later than usuall..

Reverse is the first gear more times than not to go. The only other thing to check is the fluid level. Check it at the temp it is giving you problems. If there is enough fluid and it isn't burnt, then rebuild.
