Biohazard
Tip o'the hat to Mike at Transmatic.
As suspected, the seals were dried out so they all got replaced. The friction material on the clutches was starting to flake off, too, so they also got replaced.
Mike put in a different valve body (or re-adjusted mine, not sure) for a more brisk 1-2 shift. Even got a new O-ring for the dipstick tube. Excitement, yo.
The rest of the month is gonna have to be elbow grease: I'm spent-out for August. Really too bad because I desperately wanted to order new insulation for the firewall and begin reassembling under the dash. Not to worry on it, though...I have plenty of work to do just cleaning the HVAC unit.
