Arrow Re: PLESE HELP! Still have problem but not what I thought!

Smile Re: 3rd and 4th gear are not engaging + weird smell

NOTE: Why I only use Amsoil ATF in the 4-EATs.. The transmissions in the SVX have a higher operating temperature and larger bands. Factory DEXRON 3 and 4 are not sufficient for these transmissions....
