That's a big 10-4. There is no better trans out there,
except the 883<?>,which is the old (V)opar stick.
And we know the motors are good.I think we need to

Your last poll fell flat. I think most people may
not exactly realize when the condition is occurring.
I also want to clear up for you newer model guys
that is goes beyond a tsb. I am talking about
experiencing it in the old ones too.
The pre computer ones from the 70's and
80's.
I think It may be a "stack" problem that
ultimately shows up it the valve timing.
A combination of worn or loose timing chains,
distributor <including plate and shaft>,
and mostly that funny mid shaft from the dist
to the oil pump. It all adds up.
