Yes...please post them! I am very interested to find out what the params are.

Thanks,
John

While we're waiting for Pat to wake back up, I just wanted to say that I think the $750 you paid is reasonable for the work you had done. I know that some of us paid a LOT more for similar work (once). ;)

While i have the FSM TCC pages scanned...........PB is currently down for Maint, and will post as soon as i can get the pics loaded

Thanks for the input. I thought it was reasonable, too. And the mechanic is a guy who has worked on this Bonne before, and does very good work.4 years ago, when the tranny failed on my (then future) wife, when others were insisting on a total rebuild, he took the car and just worked on 2nd gear, and we havent had an issue in 4 years and 75,000 miles - she paid one fourth of what a rebuild would have cost. BTW, he detailed the engine from the cover to the oil pan, just to make sure I could see if all the "leaks" were taken care of (see my sig line which I may have to change). The 3800 looks brand new!

Here are the scans...Im gonna send the Files to Don and he can load them on his unlimited PB acct, so there can be Bigger pics

Sounds like you have one of the good ones. Don't let him get away, lol.

Ok..I just read the scanned info. Thanks for the scan. Now do these things happen in the sequence listed? Because if I am reading correctly (and I may very well not be :roll: ) then the TCC lock happens in 3rd gear, and then the shift into 4th happens. In my case (when it's working right) I see a small drop in RPM (~500) at around 46 MPH on a level road. AT around 52 MPH, there is a larger drop in RPM, such that I run 55 MPH at around 1600 RPM. Of course, all of this is read using the dash gauges and as such there is a margin of error. But, the question is, "am I interpreting these pages correctly?

Thanks,
John
