88 BUICK LASABRE

[bsnead]

I have an 88 Buick LaSabre that lost reverse. The other gears work fine and shift very smoothy but reverse does not accelerate. When I shift to reverse, it moves at idle speed, but when I hit the gas, it just continues to move at idle speed. Can anyone lend some insight and tell me what kind of transmission I have and where would be the best place to get information on this particular transmission. The car is a frontwheel drive V6.

Thanks,
