hey guys

This is another one of those autotragic reverse gear problems again except for the 4hp22 on my m30

Recently its been having a hard time engaging reverse. When cold it engages straight away. After driving it up to operating temp, reverse engages straight away too. But leaving the car to sit after 2-3 hours it takes 10 or so seconds to get into reverse.

I checked the fluid levels and they seem fine. I cleaned the shifter switch and adjusted the shifter cable and all are fine IMO.

Now according to this pdf file

During the road test it may be noted that there is no engine braking in manual first or second gear.

After taking my car for a drive i tried this and i still do have engine braking. So my F clutch probably is still okay right?

So im not sure really but do you guys think maybe my valve body needs cleaning/rebuild? Obviously im going to take this to an auto specialist but i would just like to hear your guys opinion first.
