hard shifting

the transmission off an on has been hard shifting and for a moment it wouldnt go into reverse so i put a bit of gas and it jerked violently.
Will adjusting the brake band do anything or is it another issue?

You should check the resistor and connections mounted behind the battery and run a diagnostic check on the transmission. First read up on the subject in the how too section, so that you know what you are about.

Re: hard shifting

all i found was a picture of where it is i didnt find any how-to's to diagnose it.
do i just use a voltmeter to diagnose it?

I must check the “how to” because data should be there.

You will have to test the resistor for correct resistance using an ohmmeter. (Ohms scale on a multi meter.) It should measure between 9 and 15 ohms. Make sure you check the associated wiring and connections.
