Hi Everyone
I'm new to T-Birds although a fan forever, finally got a 60. I'm pretty good with everything on a car except automatic transmissions so I'm reaching out to you gurus for help. Overnight my torque converter is draining fluid back into the trans. I have to put is in gear let it warm up and give it some revs before the TC refills and I can drive. I've got it in the shop now, anyone else had this and is there a fix? I know someplace in the valve body there is a check valve but...?
Also I was wondering what the transmission is? I thought there was a linkage issue since I can't gear down into D1 only low, and the car seems to start in D1 not low unless I give it gas. Now I read that's normal.
Lastly, the kick down (passing gear?) doesn't seem to operate correctly. Ideas??
