Reverse takes a while to engage after siting for a long time

[Jfman]

Hello all,

I noticed that if my bronco sits for more than 4-5 days, when I start it and put it in reverse, it takes a while for the gear to fully engage. Like as if reverse is slipping.

Is this a common quirk on these transmissions?

I am thinking it’s probably the oil completely draining out of the transmission and needs a few seconds to refills and repressurize the whole thing.

Mine has been doing that lately. It makes a loud clunk going from Park to Reverse on initial startup. It only does it from a cold start on the first drive after a day or so of being parked.

How many miles? Have you had the transmission fluid changed at all?
