    For clarification, if it's a 1977, it is a straight 410, ignore the "D". There is a suction strainer horizontally in the bottom of the transmission case, cleaning it may help. It's more likely though if forward works well but not reverse you have some bad piston seals on the reverse clutch and/or the reverse clutch plates are worn out. Also might help to check the shift linkage to make sure it's getting good travel at the valve spool.

    Thank you for such a fast reply This suction strainer is it located on the outside of the tranny, changing it like a car trans filter????? I will check the linkage to thanks again......

    Sorry, No. You have to drain the fluid, and it's under a hex head plug, about 1 1/2" or so. The screen is about a foot long so you can probably figure out where it is, or somebody will know...
