Robert thank you so much...I watched your scam video it is sad what people do to people who are just trying to help other people and I would not be a fan of trolls either hahaha. Karma! You are a good person!

So still have to wait to put it on my friends lift couldn't do it last night.

So you don't think it is the transmission? I will keep you posted on all my findings....

Sorry, we ran out of ideas. Without being able to get eyes on the issue, unfortunately you will have to try a pro. Where are you in California. There may be a good repair shop in your area if we know roughly where you are. We have several friends in your state that may be near you and can recommend a good honest shop.

There is occasionally issues no one on the forum has experienced before, and it sounds like you're that lucky person to have this particular issue first.

Please do keep us informed when they figure it out.

LOL I don't remember that one but I likely deleted it, especially if it was one of the HOWR videos.

Hopefully not too much wrong as is fixable at not too huge a cost.
