2001 explorer
Hi I have a 2001 explorer that somewhat suddenly lost reverse.
The reverse went out a couple of times yesterday but otherwise worked fine.
Today I got the car to back up getting out of the driveway but then nothing. I checked the fluid it looks good proper level and no foul smell. The trany is a junk yard model that I put in last year about this time. the trany probably has about 180-200k on it. all other gears work fine and i do not have a flashing od light. after reading through some other posts on this issue I am thinking the most likely culprit is the reverse servo. I think the 1st gear is working fine
any thoughts would be appreciated.
 






It could be the low, reverse servo, there are other things that can cause this problem also, blown valve body gasket, valve body problem. Does manual low work? It uses the same band and servo.
