    I have a 1984 245 wagon (auto) with 183,000 miles. The transmission works
    great in forward gears; shifts smoothly, etc. But when hot (especially
    after stop/go driving), and ONLY when hot, it's hard to get it to
    reverse... I shift into reverse, and it won't go until I rev hard (and
    then it jumps into reverse, and I'm guessing that's not good for it). Is
    this likely to be something a simple fluid/filter change might fix, or is
    it likely some linkage trouble or other problem?

    definitely check your fluid level. ATF reads a different level depending on
    the temperature. a flush couldnt hurt either.
    and what you described is a common symptom of low fluid.
