Good afternoon Fellow Listers,
   
  I was out on a tour this past weekend and experienced some problems with 
reverse gear.  After engaging reverse and easing my foot off the clutch, the 
engine would rev but that car wouldn't go anywhere (or barely crawled 
backwards).   Not once during that trip did the car reverse as it should have.  
After about 10 or 15 seconds with the RPMs elevated did the car begin to move, 
although slowly, backwards.  Any suggestions on what I should check first?
   
  Here's some other helpful information:  Yes, the car was all the way in gear. 
There is 20/50 in the transmission and was changed last fall.  OD was not 
engaged (and doesn't presently work).  The transmission and OD were rebuilt 
about 5K miles ago.  The OD has all new sunwheel and planetary gears.  The 
transmission has new forks and a new laygear.  The transmission was working 
fine three weeks ago.
   
  As always, I appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.
   
  Cheers,
  Carlos Cruz
