Transmission slipping in reverse.

When I put my 1995 Jimmy in reverse it slips when I try to back up faster than Idle speed. It will work better when I put in into 4 wheel dr. low but not like it should. Somtimes when I push the buttons to transfer from 2 wheel dr. into 4 wheel high and low, it takes some time to transfer. The forward works real good and transmission shifts through all grears fast and smooth, even overdrive without any slippage. Is my reverse bands going bad or could there be something else causing this problem. The Jimmy has a 124,000 miles on it and transmission oil does not smell burnt or scortched. Thank You for any help that you can offer.

slipping in reverse or no reverse are the death signs of any automatic, the rev clutch pack is worn out and the trans will need an overhauled.

Transmission not working right

Have the transmission pressure tested to see if it is OK. The shift solenoids may be weak or the valve body may be worn enough to not allow pressure to build. You might just want to rebuild the transmission.

How do you adjust the shift cable on a 1995 gmc jimmy, wont go into reverse or park.

On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.
