It's good to have my baby back, but I'm noticing that with the new fluid the shifts are much smoother. I miss the old rock-hard slams in between shifts! I'm not planning on yanking that resistor, but those solid shifts were sure nice.

Adam - Coincidently, last weekend in the Washington Post & probably other newspapers, was a weekly article by Pat Goss (Goss' Garage), comparing tranny fluid to liquid sandpaper. He says that new fluid should give you harder shifts, since old fluid is like worn out sandpaper, & makes the clutches slip while engaging. This translates into "smooth" shifts, but tough on clutch material. This is the exact opposite of your experience. Hmmm.
Any comments from those in the know? (Beav)
Also - did you refill with synthetic, get a T-Tech(?)flush, & how many miles since the last flush or drain?

TIA - Ron.
