Tranny Problems: On the Outside Looking In
By Wayne Colonna | June 2008 Motor Magazine

I thought this was a good general article on transmission problems that should be considered before going to rebuild/ replace.
The original article is attached as a pdf.

Maybe for reference section?

Very interesting article. Especially concerning using the wrong fluid. Vehicle speed sensors tying into wipers? On a 1999 mercury? How stupid can a car company be? If these sensors create their own voltage then why tie (ultimately) into any other part of the harness? Stupid!! this is one of the reasons why I take a hard approach on car companies. :mad:

Yeah, nice features and smooth shifting in the begining....but sure makes it hard once the gremlins move in!
