gday i have a problem i just changed my trimatic with a second hand one my problem is that it has reverse but it feels like its slipping and u have to rev it to about 2500RPM till it engages. Also when shifter is used to select first it slips till reved to about 1500RPM then engages but feels like it is still slipping .but when in drive it is fine unless its really hot then it might just shudder when taking off. does any one have a solution could it be the vacume modulator i have heared that this controls fluid pressure. any help would be great!!
cheers scott
