I have a 1980 GMC 1500, with a 350 sbc with a th350 trans. The trans has some issues shifting into reverse when it's just getting going. Picks up drive and low gears fine. If I let it sit for about 10 minute or if I drive it around the block, reverse will show up. I've heard th350's have had this issue and eventually will start to lose drive gears... im sure there are some who are far more experienced than I who could shed some light on it. A search showed minimal results.
Anyways, I'll probably end up pulling it, which then leads to the next question... do I rebuild it, pay for it to be rebuilt, or put something else in it? Where I live the freeway is 70mph, so something with an OD might be nice, and I'm not super concerned about money.
I'm just curious what your thoughts Are!
