My '88 is doing the same thing right now. Reverse is dying.
I have shuddering in forward with easy throttle and OK when flooring it too. Sometimes it dies and is hard to start. It shudders more when turning to the right, but stops shuddering when turning to the left. Go figure.
HELP!!! Gary.

You could have a solenoid stuck blocking rev operation. There is no reverse sol but if one of the forward ones is stuck you wont have reverse.
Try it with the TCU unplugged.

TCU is the electronic control for your transmission. It is under the lower dash panel, right about where your passengers' knees would be.YosemiteXJ said:
