Thanks all for the responses -- apparently not uncommon if the fluid 
level is low. Guess I need to check my dipstick -- someone said there's 
something in the tech guide about it.

Club meetings, like last night, involve two fairly high speed 280° right 
hand off-ramps that can be sorta fun when the traffic is light -- one 
coming, one going -- but not so much fun when the tranny stalls out in 
the middle of the turn.  Was my first (and second) experience with this.

Maybe I can blame the old aluminum for letting tranny fluid leak out 
over the winter ...     ;-)  

Thanks,

Bill
