Both of you will benefit further from the 4 quart drain & fill. Do it once now, then again on Saturdy or Sunday. Perform it a third time next weekend, and then every 4-6 months thereafter. Your problems as described are more severe than generally encountered for this approach, but it will hopefully take care of it.



I would be hesitant doing this with the problems we are having. I believe the slick 50 is acting like a friction modifier and is the only reason keeping my tranny from completely dieing. Doing the 4qt would remove it and cause some havoc. It might be an old mechanics tale about not changing fluid in an old tranny, but I don't feel like being a $2000 guinie pig.

I had the 'engine rev at the stop sign' thing happening for a short while and the 4 quart drain & fill noted above fixed me right up. Runs perfect & I would not hesitate to take this car across the country.



My engine does not rev, it idles around 800rpm for a little bit then it will just bog down and die like the tranny is not fully disingaging while sitting still. I can hear it disingage when I put it in neutral.
