My 91 5.8 351W is great! But recently the transmission started slipping while in Drive, however it works just fine in 2. Once it gets going, I put it into D and it works just fine. However, everytime I stop I have to do this process again.
Not sure if this is a torque converter issue or what?
When this issue appeared, I bought some of that LUCAS AT repair fluid (the one that says is stops slips and rough changes). This seemed to work a little, but I noticed that once on the Highway for about 20 minutes I have a white smoke coming from the hood! Dont know if this is some of the LUCAS magic juice burning off that I spilled (only about an onve or two), or if this is a completely unrelated issue. All guages read good and no check engine light appears.
