Autobox problem - no reverse

[The Lovely Boyo]

Hello

When I was off roading yesterday, I selected reverse to get out of some trouble and nothing happened. Engine revved, but zero movement. Felt like I had no traction and that both ends were spinning.

Except that when I got out and checked there had been no spinning of the wheels at all.

Got back in, drove forward, then tried to reverse again and it reversed no problem.

This is the second time it has done this.

I've checked the level and its fine, so is the colour of the ATF.

Any ideas???????

Starting with the cheapest...............

Linkage needs adjusting.

Solenoid faulty.

Specialist repair.

Cheers Vince,

I've got a generic manual for Toytoa autos so I'll have a read through that.

In the meantime I'll get under the truck and see if anythings loose etc.

Hope it doesn't get to 'specialist repair' ouch
