This is the tranmission that we ran at Bonneville last year, but haven't 
even started the car until this week. The trans shifted funny last year 
(kinda went into neutral between second and third) but I believe this is 
becaused I had the wrong dipstick and tube and didn't have enough fluid.

I'll try to readjust the low/reverse band loose and try it again. Thanks
