I never had a spin on leak but I fought with a few cartridge types and was very happy to convert my 327 Chevy to a spin on!

Now isn't that funny. Cartridge systems were such a pain in the 50's and 60's cars that they made conversion to spin on units and now they are doing this once again??

92 Buick regal Limited 3.8 engine, 140,000 miles. shifting odd. When going up hill it wants to shift up in gear,ie. from 4th to overdrive . Don't know what history is . would flushing trans. fluid and new filter hurt. Dealer say they would not recomend. and recomendations???- Mr_Shiftright (Feb 11, 2011 7:46 am)

Pretty hard to diagnose transmission ills from this distance. Just a WAG--I would scan the car for any transmission trouble codes. Maybe a faulty shift solenoid or maladjusted throttle valve cable. You'd have to investigate how the transmission gets its speed/load information.

How long has it been since the last transmission service? I wouldn't "flush" it under any circumstances though. Just change the filter and fluid in the pan. If the filter is very dirty it can cause a load of problems.
