Thanks, I have heard of the 400, I think my 72 Monte Carlo 454 had that transmission--no overdrive, high rpm empty, unless someone has figured out how to put OD on it. If I towed a lot, that would be the way to go. You and your brother and law have pulled more than me, I don't know what a Massey 101 is, but I know what an H weighs -- new 700R4 or not, that was too much weight. It could be that my trans is getting worn, no symptoms at all except it burns the fluid and eventually spews it out the vent when towing, -- that's how I knew it was hot to begin with -- I was only pulling a 2000 lb trailer and a Super A, but against a 30 mph wind. Good as new when not towing. A couple of years before that in 1997 I believe, I had pulled an H from Amarillo TX to Garden City, KS -- that was the first time I towed with it, no problem at all, I suppose it was hot, but the fluid didn't burn, or come out the vent, I thought everything was swell, I did not have a temp gauge at that time.
