“Transmission started to slip when changing gears. The transmission only had 39000 miles on it. I took the van into taylor chev.

There was a good hold back when going down a hill with the cruise control set, but if it was not set, the vehicle appeared to be in free wheeling mode, which allowed the vehicle to pick up an excessive amount of speed.
