Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I forgot to bring transmission parts along on this trip.
I was down 1/2 a cup of ATF this morning. In 4,800 miles or so but I'm guessing it's my 1st gear synchro that's past it's best before date. As long as I stay in the higher gears, it seams ok.
We are in Battle Creek Mi tonight and should be home tomorrow night. I doubt Best Western would appreciate me doing a biopsy in their parking lot.
We shall keep on keeping on for now. I'll let you know when we get home.
