hi everyone my name is tim and i'm new here i just recently got a 1980 chevy luv and that truck is awsome but any way i'm having trouble with the tranny it has no reverse the guy i got it from said he took it wheelin and came back that night and the reverse still worked but the next morning it didn't and its been out ever since and let me tell ya its a pain to push a truck backwards that has 31s on it so i was wondering if any body has had this problem and if so what did you do to fix it the reverse has been out for 1 1/2 months and it will let you put it into reverse and you can give it some gas and let out the clutch and it will work for abought 2 inches and then it kicks out of gear and makes a real quick grinding noise and it sounds like gears grinding and i've tried reverse in all modes 4hi 4lo and i 2wheel so any help would be awsome because $270 is alot of money for me right now for a junkyard tranny thanks for any help you guys can give me!

hi have you tried holding the stick in reverse with your hand while backing up if you have tried this does it still kick out of reverse if it does you are probably going to have to remove the trans and either rebuild yours or swap in another from a junk yard or something like that good luck glad to help.

i have a good trany if you pay shipping ill let you have it

hello my fello luv owners need some help i have a 1979 4x4 luv that im puttin a clucth in no got my tranny out but i cant get it back in any help

Dirty post stealer!!! Just joking. I remember someone saying recently that (1) additional hidden bolt needs to be taken out. Search for clutch job of tranny removal. Or just look at the most recent post that have to deal with tranny.

found it for you. Here take a look.
