[C320-list] Engine Stalling In Reverse

[Shawn Maloney]

My 1993 Catalina has the Perkins engine and Hurth gearbox.  At the end of
the season last year it would instantly stall out when placed in reverse.
Over the winter I took the transmission out and opened it up.  Everything
looked find (not metal filings etc).  I replaced all the gaskets and it was
also suggested that the damper plate be replaced as this was usually the
cause of such a failure.  Well today,  I installed the overhauled tranny and
same result.  

 

Any other thoughts out there?
