Hi all,

I'm driving my dad's Mustang and noticed something. From a stop, if
you romp on the throttle (say, 75% or more throttle angle), when the
trans does a 1-2 shift there's a loud "SCREEE!" and the definite feel
of trans slippage.

Is this a common indicator that the trans is ready to go? It has 125k
miles on it and has seen regular maintenance.

Is there something I can do to it in the interim until I have the $ for
a rebuilt trans?

Could this possibly be the torque converter?

I'm thinking using an ATF with a high static coefficient of friction
(Trick Shift, etc.) would help, IF it's trans slippage. Any comments?

Yeah, how about "quit abusing your dad's car".

lucas AT additive,

yes it really works.

But my experience with it is at normal operation.. just occasional WOT, not
constant romp
