Stop in for a cup of coffee

Also need to add the shift from a dual (front and rear) pump system that occurred in 65(??)

The hydraulics flows changed as well because as it seems to me, the use of the.park cable was a mechanical block to the transmission's ability to engage the drive bands and was not related to the flow in Neutral.

The addition of a true "Park" position in 65 created a change in hydraulic flow that differs from the neutral position.

That's a novice's assessment at least
So I guess you didn’t follow my advice and have a bonfire in the drive with it? That thing would be an ashtray by now at my house! Hah! On serious note, congrats on getting a tangible solution. Sounds like you got a good plan in place now. Plus after 99 pages of advice I now know more about push button trannies than I thought possible. Que Karl.
