Most will say that the proper oil is 30 ND.

Good afternoon Fellow Listers,
   
  I was out on a tour this past weekend and experienced some problems with
reverse gear.  After engaging reverse and easing my foot off the clutch, the
engine would rev but that car wouldn't go anywhere (or barely crawled
backwards).   Not once during that trip did the car reverse as it should
have.  After about 10 or 15 seconds with the RPMs elevated did the car begin
to move, although slowly, backwards.  Any suggestions on what I should check
first?
   
  Here's some other helpful information:  Yes, the car was all the way in
gear. There is 20/50 in the transmission and was changed last fall.  OD was
not engaged (and doesn't presently work).  The transmission and OD were
rebuilt about 5K miles ago.  The OD has all new sunwheel and planetary
gears.  The transmission has new forks and a new laygear.  The transmission
was working fine three weeks ago.
   
  As always, I appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.
   
  Cheers,
  Carlos Cruz
