3000 stall on a street driven car? Isn't that asking for trouble on our powerband? Cruising @ 1500 rpm around 50mph would be horrendous (well a slightly different mph for you L67'*..)

The flashback of seing rubber chunks coming from the front pass tire when leaving the campsite for the strip are still engraved in my head. It amazes me that the tranny'* hold up as well as they do for as long as they do with the */C. 3.29 and you'll have tires going bald at 1/4 throttle

If it were me, I'd drop the pan and filter and see if that does anything or if anything drops out of the pan.

Sorry to hear this dude

I had the pan of last week, i guess i could drop it again easily enough
If it acted up once now, whats it going to do in the spring though :?
She still made it home tonight freezing rain then snow, second gear the entire way for more engine braking, i had no traction, scary stuff, Alero goes into commision now lol
I'll call my guy Monday and talk to him
I wonder how much 3.29 would affect my mpgs?
