Sorry for the bump, but my trans is taking about a second to engage reverse - all the forward gears are great. Once reverse engages, it's ok as well. Does this sound like the bad-gasket issue and if so, for someone that has rebuilt his share of engines, would this be a troublesome fix? I've never ventured into the inner-workings of a transmission....
