Thank you everyone for the feedback so far. Mine sometimes sounds more like a grinding or slipping gears. Goes away just as everyone else describes in letting off the gas and feathing back in. This is only at speeds between 30-40 only as it tries to lockup. Maybe my direct drive is worse off than others. Really odd that mine did not make that noise prior but did not shift as firm. Now it shifts firmer but now grinds. Oh the joys of old cars. Going to drive it for a few days and make sure I do my best to have it fully engage without slipping and just get some miles on it. Will go through the pressure tests. I have done that for other trans before. One question for the throttle pressure and low brake top. Are most of you getting an old pan and modifying for testing purposes. Manual does not show picture but assume it just has through connections with the the NPT on the outside and hose connection into the port on the inside. Seems easy enough to make if you have an extra pan.
