No,i'm still sitting with the same problems,although for two days it's shifting up and down very good.
If i got something iwil let you know.

thanks,

I have no problem with the performance of ny trans. but I hear a whinning noise and can not figure out where it is coming from. help me!

>specialist< jus from wat u mentioned it sounds like a tranny fluid pressure problem. could be a stuck check ball in the valve body. will it shift through the gears in manual
