should come check it out.

still has a small trans leak- i am fearful something is cracked on the housing, or it just has a torn seal around the NSS selector switch output.

ill try to investigate first.  it shifts really nice and pulls hard.  i think its just a leak or seal but its a pretty good drip.

im into it a pan gasket and filter so far.  pretty easy to get to on the lift.
