Issue Summary:
n Acura Legends with G4, L5 & PL5X transaxles, grinding or bind-up in reverse could be caused by incompatible reverse-selector components on the countershaft.
In the BMW ZF-5HP-18, a bind-up with the selector in Manual 2 position, 1st gear, could be caused by a broken D-clutch one-way checkvalve assembly.
A broken clutch-pressure-control spring may cause flared or harsh upshifts on Honda A4RA/B4RA.
We also illustrate Ford CD4E air-check passages.
In 1996-98 Ford E4OD or 4R100, slipping or no reverse and/or no engine braking in Manual 1 or 2 can be caused by a misplaced BS1 checkball.
In earlier E4OD models, slipping or no reverse or no engine braking in Manual 1 or 2 can be caused by misplaced BS1 and BS6 checkballs.
