Did you get any replies about your trans ? I'm not a trans expert, but it sounds quite high to me. What the difference between that tourqueflight and the ones they put in the cars all the way up until the 80's ? They had tourque flights in all the cop cars. Just had a side note. I had a 76 Dodge motorhome and was doing some work on it to find out it had a loadflight transmission in it. I had never heard of one. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hoover <Hoover@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 27, 1999 5:25 PM Subject: [FWDLK] Trans Trouble..ouch > Here is a serious ouch and a question for the tech experts.I was backing > my wagon out the driveway when I heard a clunk and I lost reverse in > my transmission.
