Subject:Re: Delays: auto transmission and starter motor

My auto trans started doing the same thing.  Then it would not move at all.
The shop (that I trust) rebuilt it and said the only thing wrong was that
all the seals had dried up.  Are you certain you used the correct fluid when
you changed it.  I have not used synthetic in my tranny, but I have heard it
provides a lower stall speed and may buy you some time if you are developing
problems.

The starter problem is common.  I installed a relay (from the Bus Depot) in
the starter circuit.  It now cranks instantly when turning the key.  In
fact, I now turn the key to the run position and wait for the fuel pump to
pressurize the system before I crank it.
