Reverse Issue
Here is the situation and just want opinions here. 97 Ram 1500 5.9L stock. It's my paps truck. When he engages reverse sometimes it takes a few seconds or he has to rev the motor, then it bangs into reverse. After that it engages fine until it is shut off. I checked the fluid in neutral on a level surface, it was fine. No other shifting problems. Any ideas?

Is the check valve gone? If it is, that's pretty normal. The check valve was to prevent the torque converter from draining, when the truck was just sitting. If the valve ain't there, then at cold start-up, need to put the trans in neutral for a few seconds to refill the t/c. Either that, or do the Sonax Sure Cure, part of that is modifying the valve body so the t/c will charge in park. (which means you can also check fluid level in park.)
