Auto slippin'


Alan,
Thanks for the quick response....I've have the fluid drained
and filter changed.  Would a stall speed test give a better
idea if the converter needs to be replaced??

Larry,
It couldn't hurt, but that's not the problem.  It's acting like the 
"clutch" is too loose.  In the automatic, the torque converter IS the 
clutch.  Basically, when the passageways get clogged in the converter, 
it cannot hold the preassure from the flywheel to the tranny drive 
shaft.  So the engine goes wheeEEEEEEeeeeee.  And when you let off the 
gas and bring up the rpm's slowly, the converter can handle it better.  
But while your at it check the vacuum hoses for leaks and the Stall 
switch for cleanliness.
