Transmission 98 Sonoma Transmission

[Pat J]

Hello!

Just joined because I'm looking for directions. My '98 Sonoma runs like a dream...except, there is a slight delay in the engagement when I shift into reverse.  Not sure where to begin in my search for information and options. I'm in the Greater Detroit area. I've kept the truck well maintained despite the 264,000 miles. Original engine and transmission.

Where can I look/who can I talk to/what do I ask?

Thanks! and I wish I found this site sooner.

Check to see if you have good engine braking in manual 1st. This is relevant as the low/ reverse clutch in the trans provides both reverse and engine braking. Aside from that, it could very likely the reverse input clutch as well. Those are the typical causes of reverse issues in the 4L60.
