Bongo Fury

Anyone come across this before?
1999 4WD auto.
Drove forward off driveway no problem.
Put in reverse and the engine stalled.
Put in park started engine put in R engine stalled.
It was very cold and the motor had not been used for a few days.
Tried to recreate the problem to show mechanic mate and of course it didn't do it.
Any ideas?

is your drive level. is the gearbox oil level correct.

The drive I came off is level but the place the motor stalled is on a slight slope.
I have reversed many auto's up the slope including another Bongo with no problems.
I checked the ATF and that was fine.

Might be a daft question but is your alternator ok and the battery charged.
My alternator bust recently and I had similar problems when the battery was flat, new alternator and gear change went back to normal.

No daft questions, all replies greatfully received.
No problems with batteries.
All chargng OK, motor starts everytime with no problems.

Sounds like the clutch might have been sticking..

frozen water in the water trap in the bottom of the fuel filter. try changing the fuel filter or draining off the water when its warmed up and has been running.
