Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS. AS NEAR AS I CAN TELL, FROM READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON MESSAGE BOARDS, THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO TWO POSSIBLE THINGS. A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER (FREQUENT PROBLEM)AND/OR CLOGGED COOLING SYSTEM LINES AS THE LINES AND PASSAGEWAYS ARE TOO NARROW AND FILTER IS INSUFFICIENT. *NLM
