Well, I suppose that may be the case. Strange thing is that I don 'see' any slip... But there could be 1-200 RPM of slip, and I might not notice.. Could be slipping during the shift as well, which I wouldnt really be able to tell, since its a glide, and thus it gets back down on the converter anyway, and it would be hard to tell.

The other thing that I find a bit strange, is that I can get the trans plenty hot, just in warming up the engine in park and not moving the car at all. That makes me think there is something rubbing in the trans even sitting there in park... In the time it takes to get the enging up to 160F, the trans is 150F, just sitting there... Do you folks see the same thing, or is this out of line ???
