[DML] Re: Auto Trans Problem

["Ratfink65" <dennis.p.lowery@xxxxxxxx>]

I'll do the filter and fluid checks today, but I'm not familiar with 
the line pressure check or the light box.  Could you explain 
further?  Can I remove the shift computer and send it somwhere to 
have it diagnosed?

Thanks for your help so far!
