5kta question [was: Re: 4000 auto trans]

[Ken Keith]

Yes, that is what I meant by jarring something loose.  I don't know 
if I should leave it, top it off, flush it with dino, or flush it with synth.

I guess I'm mainly concerned with slushbox failure, although I'm 
sure a vacuum leak or broken wire would be a more likely failure.

Thanks,

Ken
