My daily beater started to not want to go into reverse when it was hot. When it was cold, it would back up fine. Hot it felt like it just wouldnt drop into gear.

Over the past week or so it got progressively worse, so I decided to change the trans fluid. Probably a bit late. The stuff that came out was pretty brown, a bit nasty, not horrible. Level was fine, not too many chunks of things in the pan or filter.

After the change, it will not go into reverse, hot or cold.

So - anyone had a similar issue. Anyone got a service manual online for a 95 Q45 transmission ?

Will an early trans swap over to the 95. I have seen the gear ratios are different. Are there other differences. I have a couple of 92 - 93 Q45's over at work that have damaged motors.

Here ya go.
