Can that thing go offroad? The tranny may need to be rebuilt, or go to a salvage yard. Welcome to Broncozone!!!!

rebel, I'll reply to your post. IF by losing reverse, did you hear a loud clunk or pop, or does it not go back when the engine is cold/at start-up? What tranny do you have? The automatic A4LD is prone to such problems, so you're not alone. At fluid should be pink/red, if it's black you overhaeted or burnt the fluid. Does it smell burnt? Try searching the tech articles forum for "Miesk5 Homepage", and look in the transmission section for your model tranny for help. Good luck, JSM84
