[DML] Re: Automatic Trans Isn't Auto-anything





Dan,


You did not mention HOW it was stored/and if it still has the orignal 
tranny fluid,this is just my thought, but you might have debris and 
or build-up/gum build-up,possibly on the screen/valve-body  ,what you 
might want to consider is a thorough power-flushing,which SHOULD 
force out any debris/build-up and clear-up the valve body/screen,as 
that is where I suspect your problem stems from,more or less 
varnish/gum build up is preventing the valve body from shifting "up". 
Any decent garage should be able to do a Thorough power flush on your 
auto tranny.
