RE: IML: 'A604 cold movement

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Matt, A simple test: At start-up, shift to N, let eng. idle just a few seconds, shift to D,or R. If the shift  responds quicker,then the problem is most probably, the converter leak-down valve.I have this condition on at least 3 trucks. All have 100k plus miles. It's not serious, and we've lived with it many years.Thanks, Dave.
