Hi...

I'm hoping that my problem is something other than having to rebuild/replace my transmission!

I have a '97 AWD with an automatic transmission that slips badly (won't move on any type of incline, but will on the level-slowly!) in reverse only. All forward gears operate as expected...Any ideas about what my problem is?

Thanks
Jeff

My FIL's 1999 4WD RAV4 worked okay in reverse but had a few second delay before it would back up. A transmission rebuild fixed it. That was 5-6 years ago. Been working fine since.

Hoping to avoid

having to rebuild or replace...Was hoping it was an electrical or mechanical switch or something wrong...
