Hi Imperial,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply.
Last fall, the transaxle was removed from the vehicle, due to a broken output shaft, from the transmission to the differential. It just sheared off clean. The repair was done at an AAMCO transmission place in York, Pennsylvania. They just replaced the broken shaft, they did not do any other rebuilding. I did not think to ask what type of fluid they used.
It sounds like you are suggesting that, if Dexron with additive was used, (which I suspect may have been the case), that clutch wear has occurred.
I don't know of any local independent transmission shops that are very good. I suspect that any diagnostics would have to be done at the dealer.
But it sounds like your guess is that this is actually a clutch problem, and a transmission rebuild would be necessary?
Thanks so much!
Gene
