Embarrassing---nothing wrong with my transmission----right front brake caliper bolt came lose and caliper was rubbing against the inside of my wheel. Replaced caliper bolt and all is great again.
I ordered a Stage 3 Triple Edge Performance----High Performance Street/Strip transmission with a 3.29 ratio. It's like driving a new car. Now I can drive the car for another 20 years. I highly recommend this tranny for anyone looking for something better than factory.
