Subject:Auto trans operating test help?
From:David Beierl
Date:Sat, 10 Nov 2012 21:40:26 -0500

Hello Volks,

I'm hoping that some of you with automatic transmissions will be
willing to make a simple test for me:  Cruising on the level in
non-windy conditions at 3,000 rpm in high gear, release the throttle
and note the coasting rpm.  If you'd like to do the same at 4,000 rpm
that would be interesting as well.

I have the odd feeling that coasting in third in my '89 has suddenly
developed higher rpm and more retarding effect; and I'd like both to
discover if it's true and also have ammunition for the discussion
with the people who recently rebuilt the trans for me if so.

Thanks,
David
