So my car started acting up a month or so ago. When I would come to a stop after a full throttle pass the trans would "bang" into first. I hum'd and ho'd over it for a while still drivin the car occasionally. The trans acted fine under part throttle, only acted up after a full throttle run.
I googled the symptoms only to point the finger at a tuning issue. Reluctantly I emailed Pat and asked if he'd ever heard of this happening. He had not.
I finally decided to take the car into the dealer to get it looked at. Got a call today that my trans fluid looked like a milkshake!! Apparently my radiator developed an internal leak and contaminated the fluid with coolant. The dealer is replacing the trans and radiator and flushing the lines. Wow!
