Banned Old Stinky Fart
I noticed a whine has developed when it goes into reverse. Can hear it some when it's in drive too but it's barely noticeable and only sometimes. It's quiet in park and neutral. Also, it hasn't been right for well over 10 years now. Not being right is that when it shifts under more than 1/3rd throttle, there's a lag during the shifts and was told that the front drum seal ring leaking by is most likely the cause of that. I've just been manually shifting it and it does fine. Shifts are normal under light throttle and shifts when it's supposed to. The fluid looks kinda crappy and has smells a bit burned but it's still red....just darker than fresh. Got to thinking when the last time it was serviced and that was about 10 years ago. Mileage is 98k. Would servicing this thing help or would I just be wasting my time and money?
