I think before we all try to guess what goes on in the trans study the Ford CD or at least tear down your own trans...best way to learn!...or ,if you are interested, I can set up a 2 day seminar at HMS Inc,I have no problem teaching this subject...regards TH
Well, I said it "seemed" to help - but obviously it was just a "I washed my car and now it runs better" thing.
And I'd love to tear into my tranny, but when my wife comes home and I have peices of a perfectly working car all over the floor she gets a little upset

(Plus there is the small issue of whenever I take things apart I always seem to have extra peices left over when I'm done :rolleyes: , I guess that just means I rebuilt it more efficently right)
