Default '77 C10, shifting problems

Well, as the title says, having some problems shifting this beast. Its an auto trans, 350turbo if I'm not mistaken.

Park, Neutral, 1, 2, and Drive all work perfectly fine. But to get it to go into reverse requires fiddling with the shifter.

My GM knowledge is lacking, usually a Ford guy. Is there a common issue with the shifters on these?


Side note: How do I tell what rear-end gears are on this thing? (Sorry, I really am a Chevy noob, haha)

Well, kinda hoping its not the trans. I dunno how to explain it but the shifter feels "loose" in the reverse position until I finally get it in gear.

You need to check the shifter linkage. You may find that it is loose.
