For my 904 torqueflite bolted to a 225 slant six in a 63 Valiant with 72,000 miles.
After idling at a long stoplight while in drive, started into intersection, trans lost all ability to transmit power, engine just revved. Pushbutton selector, tried all other gears, no result. Pushed car to parking lot. Checked trans fluid (in neutral with engine running) and it was at the correct level. Sat a while to think (5-10 minutes). Tried it again, and it worked fine. Drove home about several miles with no problems.
Any ideas what to do with this, other than an expensive trip to a transmission shop?
See my additional post on the trans cooler line, there may be an additional external filter in the line, not sure.
Thank you!
