Well before you do that, check and make sure the bolts are tight on the manifold, they might of backed out alil causing the gaskets not to seal properly.

Hate to hear that. I feel for ya man. The car is beautiful but I know it doesn't make up for all the problems. I absolutely love the color!! You're right, that's more than I paid for my T.A. with 49k on it.

If your tranny gets hotter going up hills on the highway your torque converter isn't locking. If it were locked the tranny temps wouldn't be dramatically different uphill/downhill.

When on the highway, giving a little and letting off a little of the gas, does the tach move up and down a little? If locked it shouldn't, should be rock solid proportional to the speedo.

Several things can cause it to not lock, one of them is "misfires". If your computer thinks there's an engine miss it will not lock the torque converter. Also I understand that if you have a problematic TPS your computer sees the throttle all over the place and never locks (it wants to lock at low throttle/MPH ratio). Several little things can cause this. A mechanic can tell you what it's doing.

Listen, fix the problem w/ your intake 1st, that might play a small part in your tranny problem via messing w/ your car's tune. I def know what you mean by not being able to find someone good to work on it man, I tell mechanics everytime what's going on w/ it, they just don't listen to me and find out the hard way.
