Thanks for responding tl34ru. I meant to say that when I place the tranny manually into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, and let off of the gas, the rpm drops to 1000 or so. And the oil looks grayish red. So you must be correct. I have worn out fictions and metals in the input drum. I can not smell anything burnt-like. I have probably 5000 hard miles on it.

Does it hurt it any to drive it?
