Well it took nearly three quarts of DextronIII until it was finally showing the correct level when checked by the book. I am more used to manual boxes and I was not checking level correctly before, at temp, shift through all positions and running. At the proper level it drove fine on one long test drive. On a test drive later than day it slipped again going from 2 - 3 and would not engage. We drove it to a side street in second and stopped. When we restarted it shifted fine again. Son drove it all around town last night and it was good. Can this behavior be caused by old dirty fluid? Does this sound like a condition that a system flush could help?

Under the car the rear seal is leaking and the bushing has quite a bit of play. There do not seem to be any other significant leaks. The underside of the car wet round the tailshaft and the car will leave a few telltale drips, but no puddles so I am not sure how fast this is leaking.

I ordered the bushing and seal kit from FPG Groton last night and plan to replace the bushing and seals and then flush the system until I have good clean fluid.

Thanks to all for input and suggestions.


Cliff
