Hi all, I have a VN Commodore with a 5L V8 in it and standard automatic trans, Well what i need to know is when the car is cold it wont select reverse, but once its been driven and warmed up it will go into reverse all the time untill its been cooled down again, Is this just a solenoid?or something simpleish to fix? or does it need to be rebuilt, also if i was to re build it who would you reccomend in Sydney, and what would i ask to be upgraded? thanks

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've got a cheap auto for sale , you could rebuild it while your still driving with the one you've got in the car now . Pm for details , you'll be surprised . Craig's automatics are good . Dont forget Al's race glides in padstow too
