I have an interesting intermittent situation for the consideration of the list...'89 Westy, engine rebuild ~4k miles ago (according to the PO). I've been doing the spit 'n' polish to get things just exactly perfect, and it's running well. But... Sometimes, on cold start, when I put it into drive, nothing happens. At first I revved to get a response, but soon realized that did no good. If I let it idle in gear, after maybe 10 secs I'll start to move forward. This happens maybe 1 in 10 mornings. I'm driving in city traffic 2-3 times a week. Fluid level is good, maybe a bit high, fluid color looks decent but not new. I have the A/T tuneup kit of screen, gasket, etc. and plan to tackle that this weekend, but thought I'd ask for any thoughts about my A/T's intermittent sluggishness in case I need to address something while I have the cover off. Thanks much...it's a testimony to the current members and archives that I haven't needed to post regarding a problem until now, as the archives and discussion have covered the other (many) situations I've faced since buying "Boris" last July. I love the list! Cheers! David McCallum
