When I let the engine totally cool, it will engage and then slip out, Once the transmission is warm, there seems to be no engaging at all, Im getting noise from the bell housing during slipping and sometimes when the in drive or reverse. I adjusted the fluid level to day, but it didn't help. I was above max line for a day on the new fluid, but it read just right when I filled it. I also have a 4 inch piece of fuel line hose on of the steel cooling tubes, if that would matter. I checked the bands while I had the pan off, and one seemed to lift a bit more than than the other, I left them alone on adjusting because the performance seems to be fluid issue. The oil that came out today, was only a day old and seemed a little dark to me, I stuck my finger in it and it was still red and slick, but it seemed to had lost a bit of tranlusence. I adusted the fluid level enging running in Nuet, with the drain plug by dipstick port. It only dripped and seemed to have sometimes a bit of pressure pushing it out a bit more rapidly. I get noise when in gear but no noticeable engine rpm fluctuations.
Would it be overheating? The I had only driven about 5 miles before it failed. And the only journey prior was 8 miles to work. So the fluid change repaired it for 15 miles or so.
