Post subject:  Auto transmission woes

I have a '73 Dart, /6 automatic. Haven't had it long and notice there is no 'slip' when at idle and in gear - in other words it keeps trying to go when I have the brake on, to the point of rattling the car. The idle is pretty low. Is that an adjustment or a deeper problem? Tranny seems OK otherwise, although at full bore it will slip a bit when going into drive. Tranny fluid is OK.

Thanks!

Is that the fluid level is OK or the fluid itself is OK? Does the fluid smell burnt at all?

It may be the Torque Converter heading South :(

I was referring to the fluid level. The 18-year old dropout that works at the Quick-Lube says the fluid looks OK. Changing all the fluids is on my list, right after having the brake system flushed.

Today I rejetted my 4-bbl Holley and really worked on the choke and fast idle system, and got the idle down lower, doesn't seem to be so bad now. Must have a stall speed of 600 RPM! The car sat awhile before I bought it, and everything seems to work a little better as I put some miles on it.

Thanks.
