Poor braking in reverse.

I have the Volvo 4 spot set-up.
In the forward direction the brakes work fantastic.
But in reverse the brakes are very weak, feels like brake fade.
Please explain….

So what speed were you clocked at going in reverse?

We have a very steep long driveway.
When reversing down the car feel like it's not going to stop, i really have to press the pedal hard, and yes i do have the clutch in.
I have an 3.55 diff at the moment, i think I could do the 50 speed limit around my home in reverse no problemo.

Hi
Try braking in reverse on a level road. It may be that the steep angle of your driveway is tilting your brake master cylinder resvouir and preventing fluid from entering the brake system.
Bye for now
