The transmission is rough in upper 2nd gear, and there's something funky with 3rd -- when I floor it and it drops into 3rd, it can be very jerky. Also, twice when stopping at a stop light, when I went to start up again, the transmission locked itself into 4th gear (a protection mechanism).
The last 4 digits of my VIN are: 5115
Thank you for all the advice (everyone), including the notes about the oil cooler nipple. :-)
