[Shotimes] MTX Tranny Troubles

[James White]

Again, thanks to everybody for their advice on my tranny troubles.

Finally was able to find the time to crawl under the SHO this afternoon and
disconnected the shift linkage.  There is nothing wrong with the external
shifter.

My problem is all internal to the tranny.

Found that it was almost a quart low on fluid.

Added enough to make it overflow and the overflow did not look all that
good.  Hopefully tomorrow this cold rain will stop and I will get a chance
to run it around the block and fully drain it and fill it with Mobil 1 ATF.

Wonder how long this tranny will last?
