My '72 El Camino is up on the rack at the transmission shop. It (TH350)was skipping 2nd and going from 1st to third with a long delay with the rpms going way up. If I drove like an old granny it seemed more like normal but still went 1st-3rd. I stopped by this morning and the boss wasn't in yet but the mechanic showed me the pan, lots of bits of metal in it. Something broke and it looks like it will take a rebuild to get all the metal bits out. With the gas at over $3 now I was thinking about selling it, darned thing must have heard me.
