Odd tranny problem



Fellow listers,
Sorry about the first message, sent it before I was finished. An odd tranny
problem has come up in the last week or so in my '92 100S autobox.  It started
last week when my inclined driveway was snow-covered. I only got part way up
before I lost traction, so I hit the brakes, knowing spinning tire is a good
way to burn out the tranny. Well, the car stalled. At the time I thought
nothing of it. Now five times in the last week my car has stalled when I come
to a stop. What happens is it seems the car is not disengaging from being in
gear when I stop (like leaving a 5 sp in gear and stopping with the clutch
out). The tranny has had some seals replaced in the past, but no internal
work. But the garage did overfill the tranny by accident when they replaced
the seals. Anyone else had or heard of a problem like this? Any ideas what
could be causing it? I know the trannies in '92 100's are notoriously bad,
from what I've heard on the list. Also, I noticed from my Bentley that it
looks like two seperate code autoboxes were used in '92 100's (FWD). The only
tranny code in Bentley is CDT, and it says it was used in '92 100 FWD's from
3/92 on. No code is listed for the earlier tranny. My car was built in 4/92,
and does have the code CDT tranny in it. Is the CDT tranny an improved version
of the old model? TIA.
