    Yes, make sure to not run low, even if it shows on the dipstick it is still low; when hot, the hot-full mark is the minimum level; you can safely overfill by 1/2 quart.

    A few bubbles are ok, foam is not ok, you can see evidence of foam in a very short amount of time.

    Try overfilling by a whole quart and see if it makes any difference (and then remove it by sucking it out via the dispstick tube).

    Any color other than red is not ok (fluid is showing signs of local burning due to slippage).

    Its getting to the point it wont hold TCC lockup at all at this point. Starts slipping out no more than it locks up.
    Are you saying that TCC is slipping more and more while being commanded locked...?
    Or are you saying that TCC is not being commanded locked.

    The fluid was purple clear when going in. Has a slight yellow cast to it now.

    Yes while being commanded to lock. Slip is getting worse.

    Computer is doing its job. Says commanding lock. Then shortly after its starts to slip.


    I can feel it lock. But it doesn't hold it.

    Oh, I forget that RP looks purple, I'm not sure about the yellowing.


    Commanded locked and slip gets worse...

    if you can feel it slipping then that TC has to come out immediately.

    Sup stop driving it now is what tour saying.

    Well crud. There was some black stuff on the dip stick when I pulled it out the first time.

    Seems like there wet l wetter lots of shavings and fine dust when I swapped the Pan.I thought that was normal for break in?

    Guess not.

    No... transmission has no break-in.

    Interesting cause he said it would break in in about 75 miles of city driving.

    There is nothing inside that requires break in like new piston rings against the cylinder cross-hatch or new ring/pinion gears against each other.

    The frictions will bed in against the steels somewhat/then the band against the drum(some people actually bed in the band by pushing in the apply pistons, also TCC's will do the same. Precision Industries(Vigilante) says to not to go WOT with a new TC until you have done 50 lock/unlock cycles.
