The "blotter test" sounds interesting. Now thats a new one on me. Sounds like the sticky lifters and the quart of transmission fluid to unstick the lifters trick. Mabee a check with the amsol and 25 dollars will give more exact information. Not to say it dont work, its just new to me. I would like to know more about that suggestion though. But thanks Phil, I recieved everything! From the looks of the pics I dont see evidence of the pan being removed. Mabee a few pressure checks might reveal something, but again I think a trusted transmission performance shop might shed more light on the situation. FWIW My exhaust is in the same location and you stated the engine temp is normal right? If you cant trust the shop do the show me the money and ask to see it in some form of publication and verify what they are doing. If they dont want to do it then take it eslewhere.
