Thank you for the great source of info. Just looking at the photo of the transmission cut-out illustration causes me to admire the engineers that designed it. It is a pretty incredible piece of machinery.
As far as I can tell, the problem still exists when the engine/trans is up to operating temperature. I may take it for a longer drive today to be sure. Thanks again, Rich
