OK, thanks everyone. We all are nice here.

Now since Popatim mentioned the tranny. Let me ask one more question. What is the first typical symptom of a bad tranny in this car? The fluid in my car looks and smells beautiful.

But I hope I am a little bit paranoid. Yesterday when I backed up the car in reverse, I had to give it a little bit gas and I thought it was because of the small uphill at the time. Let me know what you think. I am going to double-check that tomorrow though. Thanks!

The best insurance you can provide for your transmission is to install a separate cooler. Cooler transmissions last much longer. Drop and clean the pan, change the filter and part of the fluid once a year, and don't drive it like you are at the drag races and it will give you great service.
