I have a ford telestar 2lt fuel inject, my reverse gear is very hard

Has it ever been tuned up ie. Plugs, wires or boots, filters, and injection cleaning? Check the tire pressure, under inflated tires are the #1 cause of poor mileage. Also consider fuel quality and additives that don't contribute to combustion. I hope this helps, Take care.

pump you are referring to is the fuel primer/air bleed pump when you replace the fuel filter. Try using a fuel or gallon container and feed fuel directly on the injection pump by gravity. what is the mileage of your pickup? the fuel pump is inside the injection pump. After fuel feeding the pump thru gravity and it corrects the problem, you may have a leaky fuel filter or hoses.

First thing to try would be different fuel. Use a fuel stabilizer and fill with good gas. see if that helps. Also, check the fuel pressure.

90 Ford Bronco II: You have to put it in whichever gear you want it in before you start it or it wont shift at all. Then once you are going its extremely hard to shift into the other gears. Reverse is the only gear that sounds like its grinding.

When was last tune up? Plugs, wires, all fluids & filters - especially fuel filter?? I'd start there and run a good fuel system cleaner through it.

code P0761-
Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty shift solenoid 3 valve
- Shift solenoid 3 valve harness or connectors
- Shift solenoid 3 valve circuit is open or shorted
P0761 FORD Description Shift solenoid valve 3 is turned ON or OFF by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch, vehicle speed and Engine Control Module (ECM) (throttle opening). Gears will then be shifted to the optimum position. When is the code detected? The P0761 code is detected when the ECM has detected a mechanical fault with the solenoid energized, valve stuck off code O1744- is not a code these are the ones I have found that come close

the gears in your trani are not meshing right you will need to take this into a shop since automatic trani's are nothing to play with. they are too intricat to do anything at home

stop shifting so hard. your reverse gear is the same exact gear as your first, so if you shift hard and grind that gear a little then reverse will be harder to get into. you probably need your transmission rebuilt the harder your engine has to work the more its going to bogg down

sounds like your due for a clutch

when was the last time it was tuned up?
