C161 stuck reverse

[Goldnboy 1,105]

Picked up a decent C161 auto yesterday at a local WH show.. any ideas why the motion control will stick in reverse and only way to disengage is to turn off the engine?

It does has a hack wiring job that I will redo from scratch once this is resolved.

My 520 would hang up in reverse when i got it, does you C-161 have a Eaton hydro. Found a notch worn in the cam and a worn cam plate that caused mine to hang up. I replace both on the 520-H.

Only way to get mine out when hung up was hit the brake

K&B has the parts you need and when you figure out what wiring problems you have let us know, we can help.

              You probably need a new plastic cam plate to cure the problem.
