Problen 722.4 transmission

Whistling noise when shifting into reverse.

Possible cause, suggested repair
Noise emanates from bore in intermediate plate that allows filling of disc-brake B3. Remove valve body and intermediate plate. Chamfer throttle bore on valve body side. Ensure that release valve B3 is correctly seated in valve body.(See MB service information.)

Just a thought.
Good luck.
