TRNW-2: RE5R05A, fluid color

[Chris and Cathy Kershaw]

Sorry guys, I screwed that up. SI of course calls for maticS. Going on
Google research and jim's input the fluid is supposed to be more clear
or.brown than red. The pan & filter are clean. Line pressure drops off to
near 0 on up shifts & at stop signs. Basically when it slips, pressure
drops, when it holds pressure is good.
