ptrent Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hello everyone this is my first post here. I have a 93 Legacy awd auto that is slipping in reverse, it shifts fine in the forward gears. I have searched the forums and read about brake band adjustment. I was wondering if adjusting this band would possibly improve the reverse problem. The trans has 172K on it and is due a fluid change. Thanks for any and all help that is offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 My son's 93 Turbo wagon does the same thing. I have not found a fix yet. The fluid change/flush had no effect. It works when cold, so I do not think its the clutch pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Try manual first gear, if it slips there, it is the low/reverse band or clutch (Must use manual first, since in drive first it uses a one-way clutch instead of a band for first gear) if it does not slip there but slips in third gear, then it is the high-reverse band/clutch (I say band or clutch since some transmissions use a multifriction clutch and others use a band. If I remember correctly, at least on the three speed, the low/reverse is a band and the intermediate is a multi-friction clutch.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
