IML: 81 shifting issues



Ok, i've put more fluid in the trans, and it's dead center in the OK mark, so i'm good to go as far as that goes. Now, the trans shifts very smooth, but also very LATE.. also, when it's down-shifting (after i take my foot off the gas) i hear a quiet "thud" from the rear end, and also feel it, slightly. Also, whenever i shift into reverse gear, i always felt the car shake and make quite a loud THUD noise. After adding more fluid to the trans and driving it around a bit, putting it in reverse no longer makes the car shake, at least not NEARLY as badly, just a quiet little thud and you'd feel the slightest shake, it seemed a lot more normal.

I think i need some adjustments to both the trans, and probably the rear end.. at least this is my assumption so far. I haven't had the chance to check the rear end fluid, i don't know if i can unless the car is hoisted up...

What are everyone's thought's on that?
