MADMIKE- Thanks for the AT tips. My car does experience a hard 1-2 shift. I will have to pull out the PRV valve and check it out. When I bought the car the AT was slipping from a standstill into 1st. I changed AT fluid and filter and added a Lucas Trans additive. The slipping went away entirely. The other issue I had was the AT slipping while climbing a steep grade causing the trans to overheat. I don't normally drive steep grades, but the trans cooler would sure help when I do.

I have read about adjusting toe-in to improve mileage. Will adjusting camber to 0 also help mileage or just tire wear?
