If you get any replies back to you personally(as opposed to the list), I'd
be very interested in what people thought was causing this as my '98
does this between 2nd and 3rd. Also quite a bit of metal on the magnet
at ATF changes. Right now I am keeping an eye out for a 44RE to replace
the weaker 42RE.
