I bet the transmission fluid filter is clogged, change that before changing the transmission.

I picked up a '92 V6 auto surf, the transmission had been flushed and fluid replaced but they didn't bother to change the filter - the problem (lost all drive after 2-5 mins) was still there. I dropped the pan and used a degreasing gun to clean out the metal filter, replaced it and refilled with more fresh fluid and it was just like new again. I too was going to swap in another transmission. Just as well I didn't, as I only made peanuts on the Surf, definitely wouldn't have been worth it had I changed the trans.

goes no worries in forward gears, just lacking in reverse, will try the filter as the 1st step

just a question, did you fix the reverse problem?
