useful tip about Seafoam, thanks! I'll give it a try. Does seafoam need to be drained after doing its magic? First I'll try Benny's advice of giving it time and a fluid top-up. I was being extra-careful to put in LESS than normal. And thanks to Edward for the leveling suggestion -- our garage floor slopes so maybe there's way less fluid than there should be.

Actually, we had to have the flexplate replaced last spring, when it broke over in Nevada, so it's sort-of-possible that it could have gone again. Would the TC spin if the flexplate was dead? (I don't really know where the flexplate is -- will look in Bentley when I get home tonight) |
