[DeTomaso] Transaxle - Lost reverse gear

Thu Jul 16 08:30:01 EDT 2020

I also have never seen or heard of this failure.  It is curious to me that
the replacement shaft, I presume Dennis used based on the pic, is longer
than the original.  It has been a while since I've opened up a ZF, However,
I am surprised the longer shaft would fit.
