reverse has a mind of its own

[regal-nut]

Ok the trans is a 200-4r (1985) the reverse works when it wants to. All the drive gears work fine. I was thinking of having the trans reverse flushed. Any insight would be helpfull. this 85 regal only has 68,400 orgial miles on it.

Does it do it when the engine is cold, warm, or doesn't make a difference? How's the fluid level? Shift linkage ok?

shift links are good and no it does not matter hot or cold. Fluid is good. not burnt at all.
