Default AU V8 Auto

I have a 4 speed auto behind a T3 Stroker, All has been fine, flush @ every 50K, currently up to 225,000. The lock up is dropping in and out with slight ( 300 - 400 ) rev increases, at the slightest throttle change. All the shifts are very soft. The auto seems to be very suddenly lazy - Fluid is cherry red.

Whats the best auto place in Melbourne - I dont think I will go to Ford

Any Ideas

Ray

get the s5 solenoid looked at, as this is what controls the line pressure / shift harshness in the trans, you may also need to look at getting a new torque convertor, but if it turns out there is low fluid pressure that may fix that problem
