By the way, I'm not dead.

Re: ...automatic transmission, revisited (or why sven is not just pulling this out of his @$$)
Date: 2002-08-01 11:59 am (UTC)In the meantime: try shifting into neutral as you come to the stop. If all or most of the stalling-behavior goes away, problem is unquestionably the transmission (either O-rings and/or lockup torque-converter as I suggested previously, or some other transmission-related component I haven't considered yet).
All the in-and-out-of-neutral shifting will drive your transmission into an early grave over the course of weeks/months of repetition, but I got another couple of seasons out of my Buick Regal using this method before the column dropped entirely.
