Q? Always had a bit of problem with getting reverse on my 4200 Coupe (86k on clock - I am third owner well looked after ) but last solved by gearbox oil change and re-pressurising the pump. car has been great ever since but suddenly, reverse has disappeared altogether - there are no signs/sounds of it even trying to engage. has anybody had similar experience or ideas?
Its really quite a simple one to diagnose really , it can be one of 6 things , either the reverse lever and its micro switch , the relay and fuse for it , the reverse gear actuator , or pump problems (leaking pressure,) or lastly the footbrake switch located at the top of the brake pedal , could be sticking but then again it would be the same for selecting 1st
Adding another it could possibly be the boot/bonnet opening switch/sensors , reverse cannot be selected if the boot is open/up its a safety thing and makes sense when you think about it
