Problems with truck when put in reverse

I have a 1983 Scottsdale Chevy truck. Recently, I noticed that when I put the truck in reverse, it seems it does not want to go. It will, but it seems it has a problem grabbing the gears, or something. It also makes a sound like the gears are trying to grab, I don't know. I had the pan dropped on the transmission last week, and the mechanic found two silver teeth looking pieces, made out of alluminum. Would this be part of the problem? I do not have any problems whatsoever in drive, or on the road, it's just when I put it in reverse. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this. Thank you very much!!

Hi! There's a broken part of the transmisson caseing internally that is restricting the proper synchronizing of the reverse gear.
The gear of the transmission is made out of steel not aluminum .So yes! that broken part is the problem.

My 1983 chevy scottsdale blinkers dont work and when i push on the brake pedal, the indicator lights inside and out come on. i was told that the flasher switch can get stuck and cause this problem but

Are you sure that maybe someone was talking about the turn signal flasher, which I believe is located under the left side of the dash in the fuse box. It's usually a round device that just plugs in with two spade terminals on the end where it installs in the fuse box. It's also very possible that you have a bad ground somewhere. Hope this helps, Jeff Horton
