Sounds weird to me...anyone know anything about this?
It happened to me. I had a ranger that always went into reverse slowly. It took about a second, but it always went. I changed the fluid when I had a leaky pan, and it lost reverse the next day. The transmission shop said I had a leaky seal that was partially clogged, and the fesh fluid cleaned it out.

I has happened to one of my oldest friends, and to my father-in-law as well.
