Agree a zillion percent. I'm not a supporter of the "We're all gonna die if we race a torqueflite" crowd, but, this is common sense. Anytime the motor and drive train lose their load in 1st gear you gotta check. The trans will seem fine puttsying around....but it's not. I remember when that happened, Jim.....This was the instruction we were given in big bold letters back in the sixties, before the fancy stuff was available. Just common sense, paying attention.
