08 Auto Issue With Pulling In Reverse?
Hi,
Car has been in storage for winter. Started and put in reverse, pulled hard in gear to back up. Sat another two weeks, same issue, pulled hard in reverse? Seems there is a drive line problem. Any advice?
Thanks

Could be the brakes dragging a little bit after sitting for so long, was the parking/emergency also brake up all winter? Sometimes that can get a little stuck possibly as well.
Make sure there is no fluid on the floor where the car was parked as low/no fluid can have that effect too (just stating the obvious).
You might just need to take it out and get the trans up to full operating temps and see if it still feels the same. Also before you take it out, go through all of the gears slowly pausing for like 10 seconds at each one, Park, Reverse, Neutral, D, S etc before driving it.
