Forum,
My '88 Mariah w/ 1:1 velvet drive is having a problem of slipping fairly severly when cold, but then when it warms up it runs fine. I have changed the fluid, but still having the problem.
There is a little pink "froth" at the top of the dip stick (not on the stick, up at the very top). I took off the cooler and did a very unscientific test, but couldn't determine a leak.
I have seen a couple posts that slipped when hot, but couldn't find anything on slipping when cold.
In what I think is an unrelated issue, I am getting some oil in the bilge. It seems to be coming from the housing between engine and tranny. Rear seal leaking? Gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Thanks for any advice,
Brian
