| I think as Don says , reverse blocker valve can play a big role here ,—- to cut right to it , I think the governor valve can get sticky and then governor pressure does not return to zero at stop . Springs push it back in governor to ~? zero are at their weakest when car is stopped . If it does not go , just about to zero , the trans sees that governor pressure as indicating car is moving forward at x mph and so correctly blocks reverse These cars did this new( my dad’s 57 d 500 ) . I had no idea why nor did he ( then) A BIG secret I learned after episodes of trans in and out over this —yet all is ok inside (!!!!), even a new valve body — yet it STILL did it ! If stopped and you put in D first , then go Right to R it must beat how fast the R block action comes out in valve body . Other way around too . R if no D . I have one 300 D still does it , no R When picking up our new 60 dodge (!! Stick this time!) ) in 1960 , my dad parked against a wall to force this sequence at their first turn on (!!) away it went . May have been different cause there as opposite ( cable) but it worked . 1 or 2 worked also . But sometimes no D unless R first .
Blocker idea assumes a correct cable adj too , that is tricky to get perfect . As R is all the way at one end of cable travel , trouble with cable adjustment may show up this way . Another whole subject , J * ps random nature of this makes one prone to think this or that caused it (!) and how I fixed it .. Like a rain dance , sometimes rain comes .. possibly looking a governor pressure in N after stop May be definitive .. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 9, 2022, at 11:27 AM, 'John R.

Hi all,
I had an unmolested '61 Newport wagon that I drove on a tour and stopped at a restaurant. For the first time, NO reverse to park it. Had not happened before. I let it sit after a push into parking space. Returned to hotel and just parked it using "drive".
Next day, the reverse miraculously returned and never failed again for the next 14 years! Just luck?
John

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} No reverse
I ALWAYS put any car I have that I own that has been sitting more than a week in neutral for a count of 60 - 90 seconds. I wait until oil pressure is up - I’ve tested the brake pedal - and the engine is running smoothly. Then and only then do I ease the car into gear.
The next thing I do is - after it’s out - is put back in neutral- with the brake on - and walk back in the garage to see what is left on the floor - if anything. I have a sheet of cardboard under each car to anything.
These vehicles are designed to be used and prolonged storage really hurts them.
I try to drive everyone of my vehicles once a month or 6 weeks on the outside. Winter storage from January to March is the only time they sit for a prolonged period.
