No reverse
I have a 70 SS that I've just droped a 454 I bought from a guy that had it in his slingshot dragster. The install went fine but the 400 short tail tranny is acting strange. I have forward gears. I am not sure the linkage is right but it pulls forward in every gear except Neutral. The best I can tell even reverse is pulling forward!
Is there something these drag racers do to these transmissions to eliminate the reverse? I have another 400 laying around but I am not excited about doing a tranny swap at this point. Any suggestions.

If it feels like pulls forward in neutral the forward clutch is engaged. Does the fluid smell burnt? It can have red fluid and still smell burnt. I've seen overheated plates warped and not being able to disengage.

I dont think the fluid was burnt, but it was hard to tell since Ive replaced most of the fluid. The dipstick of course smells and looks clean.

Have you dropped the pan to look for metal or clutch material? I neglected to answer your question about guys eliminating reverse for drag racing. The answer is no, reverse isn't removed. You've probably watched dragsters do their burn outs and then back up. You don't ever see them pushed back.
