This was also sold as the Dodge Monaco, so the best I can think of it to go to a Dodge dealership that’s been in businees since the late '80s and see if they can help. It could be tough, these were only sold for a few year and used Renault componenets, not standard Chrysler stuff. Good luck!

Vacuum moduator will not cause reverse to malfunction.

Maybe try a independent transmission shop. Unfortunately your tranny is a Renault design and possibly VW too.
