Guys,

I have looked through the archives and cannot find the answer to my specific problem (one of them, anyway...)

When I start out in car (plugs ok, starts right up, idles well) the transmission acts up, especially if I try to go uphill. Surges and strains, not cool. After 5 or 10 minutes driving it smooths out and starts shifting better.

Other issue is very minor oil drip that turns into a gusher when parked in my steep driveway.

If anybody has encountered this, especially the shifting situation, I would like your feedback. Mahalo (thanks)
