The tranny issue will probably be less expensive since you didnt run that tunner

have you gotten a copy of Bismics spread sheets?? He has some good tranny info in them
And it maybe something like the shift silinoids or something

Just thought it was odd that you didnt have a tunner then a few posts later you had one. But I see now what you mean about the tunner you just dont use it the programming part
Gotcha No Worries
Cool. Thanks for the link. Everyone around here wants $75 and up.

Changed the filter this morning and cleared the warning light. Transmission seems to a little low on fluid. Don't see any leaks per say. What does a hot flush and filter change usually run at the dealer or transmission shop?

Do it at a dealer. Usually under 200 bucks. The tranny has an internal t-stat that doesn't fully circulate the fluid till 170 degrees. That's the reason for the hot flush. Some shops say they have one but only have a standard flush machine. I also don't trust indies to use the proper fluid. Very, very important that only mercon SP or LV be used. Some will tell you that their fluid meets the specs. Don't believe them. Also on the air filter. If you change it use only the blue fiber Donaldson or Motorcraft brand filters.
