Re: Automatic Transmission Question

[William Harrison <bbjt3@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are companies out there that sell kits to install in your valve body that are supposed to fix the leak down problem and improve your shifts.
I tried one and it caused more problems than it fixed. I am now going to use a Lokar dip stick as it has two o ring seals and is supposed to fix the leak problem. Again just .02 worth of advice.
