Will00,

 

I read your post yesterday and didn't think of any possible fix that came to mind. Today one thing comes to mind, but its a guess.

 

First off, your tranny issue may not be related to the half axle shaft replacement at all. Sometimes shi* just happens.

 

That said, there is nothing related to the tranny's ability to go into reverse that's tied to the half axle ..... unless you messed up the ABS sensor on that wheel, and its lack of signal is feeding back to the computer in some way. I'd take a close look at the sensor and its wiring at that wheel.

 

Other than that, you may just have a bad tranny solenoid that works when the fluid is cold and the viscosity is thicker, but doesn't work when the fluid heats up and thins out.

 

I suggest you need a good mechanic to read the tranny codes to get to the bottom of the issue. That and .... is your tranny fluid up to level?
