  1. My recent purchase of a '63 R2 AT has a problem I need advice/help to diagnose. Running OK, but last time driven I noticed it "spooled" before going into reverse. Took about 5 seconds before it engaged. Car has been sitting for a couple of years before purchase so am addressing leaks etc. Used Type F to make sure fluid in tranny was up to mark when hot as it was leaking tranny fluid pretty bad. Today, NO reverse. Won't move. I have the shop manual but am confused on checking adjustment for reverse/low band. Of course I don't have the Studebaker tools so what's the correct procedure to use? The manual says USE tool J-5883 on adjustment screw and tighten screw until the wrench "overruns" then back off etc. Never heard that term "overruns" and what does it mean? I want to try adjustment. The tranny shops in SE MN don't seem to want to talk about working on a '63 Avanti. Please advise. If you're in SE MN area and know of a reputable tranny shop please let me know.
