Re: more auto trans questions!

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The plug you refer to is to connect the auto trans to the rest of the 
car's internal witing for the neutral start switch, back-up lights, 
power, and kick-down switch. The large round part with several pins is 
used for diagnostic purposes.
To remove connectors release any locking tabs and pull out.
If the shift computer failed completly the car would not shift out of 
first gear. The shifting of the trans is controlled by two electric 
shift solenoids that are powered by the shift computer and is also 
contolled by the gear selector. 
If the trans is running good the best advice is to leave it alone. It 
is a good idea to check the condition and level of the trans fluid and 
final drive. You could also check the line pressure and other external 
adjustments. Set them as per the Workshop Manual.
