my only experience with transmissions is with the 350 chevy turbo.
the best way I know to really get all the junk out of the torque converter is to drill a hole in it and and tap it for a drain plug.
back in my younger days I would cut the converter apart, take out some of the fins, weld it back together and make a stall converter.
depending how how much of the fins you take out would make it to where the converter wouldn't kick in til you got the engine up to 3,000 rpm.
in my opinion you're just wasting your time if you don't drop the pan and clean the filter and screens.

And I'd like to clarify the posts aren't deleted, they are simiply removed and put in the "Trash Bin".

jeff at the risk of seeming mental incompotent (which I am but I don't like everyone to know it) can you explain to me why the posts aren't deleted? and where is the trash bin? is that just future reference for the mods?
oh dam, now I sound so mentally incompotent.

I tip good service at any type of real restaurant, or cafe, even buffets, with 15 to 20%, usually about 20% due to it's so much easier to figure the math!!! We dont go to fast food chains very often, but no tips when we do as they nearly always have bad service!!!
I thought the carhop type fast food place was long long gone, like so many other good things from the "old days" Glad to know some are still around. I bet that the baby boomers, at least the older ones of us, would welcome them back for nostalgic reasons.
Never thought about what to do to get message across about bad service until my best friend told me she makes sure to have a penny on hand to let them know how she felt about the poor service. Sounds like a good idea to me. Though with some of the servers I have seen, I'm not really sure they are bright enough to get the message.
Another question on this subject...which we haven't run into yet though only a matter of time I guess before it becomes mainstream around here...but what to do about a restaurant check that includes a 20% or higher (I have read about this in fancy places but so far mostly in other cities and never less than 20% tacked on) gratuity in the bill...especially if unnoticed and paid with a credit card? I think that is highway robbery, unless specifically mentioned on menu or in person. So they could rip someone off with the unknown tacked on amount paid for with credit card, plus the cash tip left at table. What a racket!!!
I think I would challenge the management once I found out they had done that to me, and spread the word to stay away from the rip off joint no matter how good the food.
I'm a giver by nature, but would sure hate being taken to cleaners with involuntary gratuity setup!!!

God bless everyone
pat...here in se oklahoma we have carhops on roller skates at sonic
and we still have a drive in theatre which is very popular.

There are no sonic's around here either, afaik. I've personally never seen one. However I do like bearskins idea about the tips. As someone who is growing up and learning how society works ... I guess one of things you could say is important to learn is how to tip. Anyone have any suggestions on how much to tip at certain resturants? How do you decide the percentage to give other than by service...? I've never really been to a fancy resturant by myself (always go with my parents). So my main question is how much would you tip at a fancy steakhouse/resturant compared to if you went to the local place with good food and good service?

seems like I remember the going rate is 15%.
if the wife and I go to a local for eggs and bacon I usually leave 2 bucks.
if we go for something like steak, salad, potato, and with trimmings I usually leave a fiver.
we don't drink so I don't worry about a bar tip.
-
I always tip generously for good service...nothing for bad service.
before I tip anyone I always ask if they have to share tips..if they share tips I slide the tip in their little apron and we are the only ones who know about it.
I found out there is a sonic here in our area that pays minimum wage and the management gets all the tips.

it seems to stop responding.
did you try waiting a while to see?

happy birthday il_wiccan.
on these boards we get to know people and they become just like family.
then one day they are gone and we are left wondering.
even though we've never really met them it is like losing family.
it's funny how simple things like words typed in a forum can bring people close yet the leaders of the world cannot get along.
I've always believed if you can sit and talk to someone over a cup of coffee you could never be hostile to that person.

there are some amazing fact about girls and boys.
have you ever laughed at how a girls throws a ball?
their elbows are at a different angle than boys.
girl's center of gravity is below the waist.
boys center of gravity is above the waist.
girls tend to mature mentally and physically quicker than boys.
many more facts but can't remember them.
we are equal but not the same.

Pat I think people take football too serious. I haven't watched a football game since 1987 when dallas cowboys went on strike mid season.
