Just got a call from the transmission shop. They said that everything with the trans is ok. According to their diags it shifts properly through every gear as it should. To them it appears like there is an engine problem where the motor isn't making the power. He said it's as if someone put a cork up...

Anyone on the boards in Hawaii?

I really appreciate all that you did. This is great stuff.
