Cruise-O-Matic slipping in reverse in my 62 Galaxie.

After I rebuilt my carb I took the car for a drive. It runs great, shifted good in all forward gears. But, when I backed it in my garage it would slip if I gave it a lot of gas. If I just eased it into the garage it backed up fine. Am I due for a rebuild or is there an adjustment I can make.

Thanks,
Bob

Just got my 62 with C-O-M so I'm not an expert. Some problems are similar no matter what car it is though and I had the same problem with my Falcon and it truned out to be a shift cable misalignment between the shifter and tranny.

I wouldn't think playing with the carb would have caused any issues with your linkage for the reverse gear, but you can always check. How's the tranny fluid? Fresh? Full up? Had a C-O-M in a 62 Lincoln that would do stuff like that when the tranny wasn't full.

There's plenty of C-O-M's on this board so someone might come up with things to check.
