Message	My auto tranny was rebuilt at the same time as my engine rebuild and sport 500 install. For the first 2-3,000 miles I only ran 12psi (with some issues occasionally at 9psi), but for the last good 7,000 miles, my stock TT auto has seen upwards of 17psi and not even a foul sound has come from it :) Maybe I'm just lucky. Kez "Pulled the blower fan down from behind the glovebox and there was a mouse nest inside the cage fan - mom and 6 babies. Mom was dead and the reason for the smell - petrifying fast - but the babies were hanging on. At least until I fed them to the cats." [ZXtaZTT - June 19, 2002]
