Hooray!!!
TO Whoever suggested it might be the switch under the acelerator pedal...Thank you!!! You nailed it. It was stuck. I removed it and sprayed several concoctions in it, while exercising it. A bit of white lithium grease was the last try, seems to have done the job. Shifts like it should again!!
The ATF in my power steering is NOT black, but how do I know how full it is supposed to be? It is barely covering the filter, and seems to be making 'low' sounds while I am steering. How full if correct?
Thanks guys!!
