I know that this is a Tory forum but I am just stabbing in the dark with this one on the off chance.
VN V6 transmission is laggy going into reverse when cold (like a few second delay). The transmission works fine in every other way.
I am just hoping that this is a simple problem that could be cured with dropping the pan or replacing an easily replacable seal.
Anyone with any what is the culprit.
Its gotta be a 50c seal somewhere

Check out streetcommodores.com, there is a thread in there about this very symptom. However after reading it and consulting a few different auto trans shops they all say the same thing.. Hardened/cracked seals. Whether its in the valvebody or the main body I don't know.

pretty much knackered, time for an exchange box, it will only get worse, had mine do it a couple of times, no shop would tell me what it was, just wanted $1800 to fix it.

Heh that's a bit steep, Stoney only charged me $1600 for a complete auto (outright) with a 2800 Dominator converter.
Had to wait 4 months for it but hey... That's Stoney.

Thanks for the advice.
I have asked around and it seems it might be the leaky worn seals witin the transmission and the only way to fix is a strip down.
An option may be a can of that transmission stuff. I know that stuff is meant to swell the seals but I remember using a can of that stuff in a trans nearly 15 years ago and it made the trans slip.
Does anyone know of a good trans additive to use.
