Fred,
I am not familiar with a B2 piston. Is it a costly repair? How would I
check to see if that is the issue? I could get it towed to a local
transmission shop but if it's too costly of a repair it might be time to sell
it.
Thanks.
Bob

so if that would help I can try that tomorrow.....thoughts? Also and probably
more relevant the shifter has been a little sloppy the past 2 months, it has
need a little coaxing to keep it in drive, it had a tenancy to drop down a
gear.
