    Scott - The process you describe is exactly what we did, to the T.

    vxfocus - There isn't a gear 4 on the shifter, so there is no option to manually shift into 4. When I shift into 3 it does just fine, no issues. I haven't tested it beyond that as I was afraid of doing damage.


    Here's my plan -
    I am going to drain the main pan again and put a bottle of the lucas anti-slip in along with the AMSOIL, fill it perfectly to the top using the same procedure as previously and see what happens.

    If the problem arises again, I will try the solenoids. (thanks for that tip vxfocus)

    If that doesn't fix it, then she goes into storage...to be seen again....some day. I am hoping the cheap and easy couple of bottles of fluid fixes it up and I don't have another problem.

    Everyone keep your fingers crossed! I need a little luck here...

    Same story here.......did a complete tranny service, and within a week the transmission was toast. Just got it back yesterday and it feels better than it did when I bought it.
