Hi Colin
If I can add my twopence worth.
Hopping in reverse can be caused by the torque tube bracket being loose either on the chassis pin or on the torque tube adjusting collar (although the latter is more unlikely). Both are relatively simple fixes and well documented on the forum.
As others have commented brake binding is a problem. Often more likely if the shoes are loose on the pivot pin (again less likely if you have semi Girling brakes).
I find that slipping the clutch is rarely that successful when reversing and I try to get going with the foot off the clutch as soon as possible but this is best done when you know there is nothing behind. Reversing into a garage is best done by pushing unless you’re on a slope
.
Cheers
Howard
