I even kinda drove it up to a 95 mph and it didnt hesitate at all..actually I havnt gotten used to the new car feeling yet.im still feathering the gas pedal but i dont even need to anymore haha I guess I gotta break that habit . turns are perfect btw.
THANK YOU EVERYONE.
IF I HAVE WAITED ANY LONGER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC ISSUE THE CAR HAS SAT FOR ALMOST A YEAR BEFORE I STARTED DRIVING IT.
THE SPECIALIST HAS CONFIRMED LEAKS FROM THE FOLLOWING.
POWER STEERING
VALVE COVERS
AND TRANSMISSION.

WELL I WILL BE ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES SOON.
ONCE AGAIN I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE PROGRESS.

This is why the first thing you need to do with both transmissions is to make sure the fluid level is correct - I hope you did not do any damage.

Sometimes all they need is a small amount of fluid.
