1999 4.8L Chevy 1500 no Reverse

Asked by GMarch Apr 11, 2019 at 08:06 AM about the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Extended Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 1999 4.8L 1500 w/nearly 315K original miles suddenly won't drive in reverse.  Doesn't seem to even drop into gear.  Also shifts hard and "whines" in low gear.  Figure tranny died - thoughts?
