BTW, from your description of what the tranny is doing sounds like it could be just a solenoid. My T-bird was acting very crazy one time and you woulda swore it needed to be rebuilt and come to find out it was just a $35 part!!
I can pm you my address if you like!
Oh, by the way if you do decide to come over and win your ****ing lottery DO NOT bring nothing less than a AK-47 biatch!!!!!!:mad:
