Anyone had any harsh reverse engagement issues?

Every once in a while my lbz will go into reverse quite hard. Like the trans is free spinning for a second then hits reverse abruptly. Maybe 5k miles on trans since rebuild. It doesn't do it in drive, just reverse.

Drain your tcase fluid. Mine did that when I broke a snap ring. Slowly got worse untill it blew apart.

You found pieces of the snap ring in the transfer case fluid? It was just apart as well for pump rub.

No your fluid will have crap in it, mine was black.

Are you starting it, then as soon as it started, putting it in reverse?

No. Does it while out and about driving as well.

Who built the trans? What kit was installed?

It's a gmax kit with 1053 converter built or by diesel addiction.

It's like 95% of the time, reverse engages fine. Every once in a while it really hits hard.

I know this is old but did you ever figure out what was causing that issue in reverse? Mines doing the same thing .... started happing right after I got my transmission rebuilt too! Same place as well.
