V730 reversing solenoid and relay locations?

The nut is just a lock (jam nut) for the threaded block the cable attaches to ,been a long time since I saw that type neutral switch

I would disconnect the shift lever at the trans end and move it manually. Move it all the way to each end and see what the bus does. F one way and R the other way. Check the pressures as well as previously explained to verify clutch damage if still won't move in R.

Hi there guys,

I had to take a small step backwards yesterday, but will have some time tomorrow to attempt some more troubleshooting.  I have purchased some gauges and grease gun hose. I needed a 1/4"female to 1/8" female reduce in order to make this work. So I have purchased one to work with the only gauge that was available.(1/4"-300 psi) Once that come in I will try everything here and report back. Thanks again so much for the assistance.

P.S. I found a couple of hard copy manuals of a bus my father used to have prior to this one. If anyone would like them I can post them to you. A small contribution the back to the community. (See Attached Photos)

You're in good hands with Da Books!

Michael -
Before sending these off to another busnut, you might want to look thru them to see if there's a section on adjusting the shift linkage on the V-730 transmission, as they were use extensively in the transit buses.

FWIW & HTH. . .

The "Mechanic Tips" supplemental for the V730 are easier to understand, I know you can download the "Tips" and should be able to buy the book from Ebay for less than 20 bucks, adjustments to linkage and cable are made with the transmission in reverse and you should have 3/8th of inch showing on the cable end at the shifting block,I don't know what GM calls the block but others it is called a Micro-just cable connector

v730 did NOT have a V on end of bowl

I don't know if it actually is a v730d or not, but I can confirm that the nameplate specifically says v730d. This is what I am basing all my questions off of. I did receive the manual finally, but as previously mentioned, the book doesn't really describe in detail how to set the shift cable from start to finish.

Now I have been doing other small repairs until I can get the "mechanic's tips for  the v730d". If any of you have a copy or a link where to buy one, I'd appreciate it greatly. I've looked here on BCM manuals and am not sure which one contains the insert. I already have this https://www.ebay.com/itm/325183533919

Like I mentioned before. Disconnect the shift cable at the trans and move the lever manually. If the bus moves it is the shift cable if not it is a trans problem. Very simple to isolate the problem. If the trans doesn't work do the pressure tests to finalize the tests.
