Calling all automatic experts............

vacuum modulator...the list goes on and on... hence seek out a true expert if it is beyond simple stuff....

We took the car to lunch today & I think that in traffic I found a better way to describe it. For the first dozen car lengths or so (from a dead stop), it behaves like a stick with someone that does not know how to drive a stick. In other words, riding the clutch quite a ways off of a dead stop. Then, when we stopped for lunch, it smelled just like that. Like a burned clutch disc. One thing that I think that I remembered about automatics is that they have a clutch pack?

Smell the fluid and notice the color, it'll tell you.

Unpink and smelly.. Bad bad..
Trans X will either help, or make it worse.. It helped more than hurt for the several times I used it.

I haven't checked the fluid since before that lunch drive but it looked then like it just came out of the can. And I didn't get a whiff of it hot after the drive. After the burnt clutch smell at the restaurant it would have been more of me emitting the burnt smell anyway. And by that point I was kind of assuming that it was all over but the crying.

I'm pretty anal about my temps., that's why I fitted a trans. temp. gauge.....watch it constantly.....and a fluid cooler, controlled by a themostat.

In my opinion - there is no such thing as too big a cam - just too small of engine!

I'm guessing that anyone that knows you knows that Allen.

what I have learned on this subject is to go with the hydroboost brake system with a big cam.
