UPDATE: Chitchatter... Part 2

Car is back in the driveway.  Taxi Guy drained the transmission and torque convertor, then added 12 quarts of MerconV fluid.  He drove it around, then added a 13th quart.  I didn't have time to hit the highway on the way home, so I don't know if this sloved the chatter issue yet.  Will know within a couple of days...

As a side note, Vic now has 138,389 miles on the odometer. 

UPDATE: Chitchatter...

We just dropped Vic off at Taxi Guy for a transmission service. Last week, the car chattered twice while on the highway. I'm told that one possible repair is to completely drain the transmission and torque converter, then use a different type of fluid. We shall see if this does the job. If not, a replacement vehicle might be inching closer and closer, which isn't good, as I am still trying to find work. Stay tuned...
