[V8] Auto Tranny Question

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Hmm.  I'd check the fluid again. If the fluid was nasty before, there's lots
more in there -- in the torque converter as well as the tranny.

I would do a couple more fluid changes. I believe when you've done 3 or 4
this way then you've exchanged 90% of the fluid. But changing the filter
wouldn't be a bad idea, either!
