I wrote the above about a year and four months ago. I was thinking about that post last weekend... I wanted to take the Blue Lemon to Cars and...
This is interesting to me. Is it because the auto needs more "whoa" when holding back in Drive (to overcome the torque converter) than a manual...
Thanks. I took your advice, got out the torque wrench, and crawled under to find some of the 75ft/lb U-bolt nuts had backed off a bit. Not sure...
