gotstylez, your right... I could have brand new tires and have them at a low pressure. However, they are inflated to the correct psi. Keep me honest...lol.

Yes, I'll see if I can get the fluid/filter changed this weekend. Though, I may be wrong, but if the engine was having to work harder to move the trans, wouldn't that cause the shift points to change?? Meaning it would be shifting at a higher RPM than normal.
