Hello all As you might know, the 003 automatic transmission has a set of planetary gears, two brake bands and two multi-plate clutches. These bands and clutches act on various parts of the planetary gear set in order to give 3 forward and 1 reverse drive ratio. In order to select reverse, the hydraulic gear control systen applies the first/reverse gear brake band and the direct/reverse clutch. Failure of the direct/reverse clutch after high milage seems quite common. The entire trams,ission has to be stripped to get to the clutches and everything has to be cleaned thoroughly to remove any traces of burnt clutch linings. Any reputable automatic transmission specialist should be able to overhaul this tranny - its realy not that complicatedas it sounds. Regards Adriaan Loedolff '69 Squareback Automatic
