I was planning to come back to questions about the vent after I sorted out the transmission thing. I just thought that maybe they were related. I still think it is possible that they are related, but I was focusing on the transmission.
My slap is at start-up. There is an air vent that slaps shut when I start the car when cold. It is in the center of the dash. I figured it was probably controlled by vacuum pressure and that maybe I just had too much or too little vacuum. It started after the transmission was serviced, so I though it could somehow be related.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
