Re: Symptoms... 200 86

Watch the address everybody. The Guru is with a new ISP and now I have an address that makes a little bit of sense and is easier to remember for OD problems. It's a bit of stretch rearward for the bushing tool but ODGurubushingtool seemed a bit ridiculous.

On to the OD problem.

The symptoms you are describing are within the realm of deteriorating actuating piston seals IF the dash light does not react with the other symptoms.

The key is your leaving the lever in 4th as you slow down. The seals should hold the OD in until you reach a low of 30 before attempting to drop out then re-engage.

Hopefully the wiring rework was done properly.

Please e-mail me and I will forward a troubleshooting tip sheet that will eliminate any electrical difficulties. Also include a description of the OD symptoms.

Your cost to repair is about $35 to $40 and about 3 to 4 hours. Less if you have a lift.
