I've noticed my BA when put in reverse, it delays to engage sometimes and asking 2 other mates with BA fords also have this sluggish reverse
Any ideas guys? I want to fix before it gets any worse So I pulled up at work and parked the car but don't like to be so close to other people due to damage occurring so I tried to reverse, took foot off brake pedal and it rolled forward so I applied brakes again for couple seconds and it engaged What can cause this ? Thanks in advance guys

I'd recommend a gearbox service too, if you're not sure when it was done last.
Old trans fluid gets thick and has trouble passing through the filters and generally doing its job. I had all sorts of weird shift delays and random no-gearing-at-all problems until I got my 'box serviced. After that its been 100% fine.

The auto on my BA is the same and its always serviced every 20-30k. Its been like that since we bought it with 40,000 kays. My transmission guy says for BAs its pretty normal.

its probably more to do with a lazy reverse servo or low line pressure in reverse..
