I'm getting a free Camaro (85 2.8 auto) and since I already have a Camaro I'm giving it to my friend since she's been out of a car for almost a year. Only problem is it has no reverse. Is it worth trying to fix the tranny in it or should I replace the entire thing? Could it be anything else like a clip or bracket gone missing? Any help would be great!

I had the same problem where my car would not engage into reverse. I had to get a rebuilt trans put into my car becasue of it. I would def. go out and have it looked at by someone you trust. If you take it to a trans shop , they may just say u need the rebuild even if you dont... good luck! :cool:

If reverse is the only problem and it goes into the forward gears and drives fine then it's an internal problem and it needs a rebuild. It will probably be cheaper to find a junkyard trans, but a rebuild will be more reliable. Ebay is also a good option.
