My son bought a 2002 lincoln LS, V8, when he puts the car in reverse it wants to take a second or two then it kind of slams into gear, goes down the road through all the gears just fine, talked to a local transmission guy he said it could be electronics or it might need a full rebuild ($2900) thats half what he paid for it, i dont want my kid taken advantage of so if any of you guys have any ideas lets hear'em, thanks

Servo bores can be reamed and repaired with bronze sleeves. That will save the case.
There are companies designing new servo pistons to replace the original servo pistons that will eliminate reaming and use of bronze sleeves.
