Car finally made it back to the transmission shop. As pretty much everyone predicted, his 'fix' (longer rear piston apply pin) did not fix the problem. He is dropping the pan and
checking some more stuff again... Just thought I'd post an update.
Also, would like to point out another problem that I had missed before. I knew something wasn't right in drive, but had a hard time putting my finger on it. Here it is; when driving 60 my rpms are at ~2500rpm, when I let completely off the throttle it drops to around 2k (normal), BUT then after 10 seconds or so the rpms drop to near idle level between 1k and 750rpm (Idle set at 750rpm).
The other symptom that I've already mentioned, but I'll post again here to get them together...
Manual low does not engine brake. Manual Low works fine when throttle is on, but when throttle is let off the engine drops to idle speed (free wheels).
