[V8] Fwd: Warning - V8 Trans

[cobram at juno.com]

I thought this only applied to the early BMW ZF 4HP22 boxes, and had been
resolved before the V8Q's 4HP24A box went into production.  On V8Q box
there's always a bit of pressure on the clutch plates, no matter which
setting you have it in.  Going from memory, so take it FWIW.
