well getting that feels GREAT!!!!

but i want to THANK YOU all again. i would have replaced the CPS, never have thought of the actuators. in fact i really dont know what they do!! LOL. never have had them on any of my cars.

but now im back to the original issue, my oil leak. i guess i am just going to watch the oil level until this humidity really breaks then i will remove the pan and replace the RTV sealant.

ok update. sorry it took so long. it appears that i no longer have that leak and i dont know whether tightening up or a sloppy oil change was the reason. (i tend to think i was sloppy as was suggested by donbrew) but it does appear that the tranny is just fine.

THANK YOU ALL!!!
