IML: 81 Trans after tune-up

[Matthew Gill <mgill3@xxxxxxx>]

Well, got the car all done. I opened the rear-axle, drained the  
fluid, put a new sealant on it and put fresh fluid in. I did an oil  
and oil filter change, and emptied the trans fluid, changed the pan  
gasket, and put in a new filter.

Now, after doing that and adjusting the trans fluid while running in  
neutral to "OK," the trans seems to be shifting fine. But, here's my  
question. When i first pulled it out of the driveway after adjusting  
the fluid, and driving it around the block, it DID slip a couple of  
times, but then after those initial couple of slips it was shifting  
ok... does this sound normal? I'm assuming that maybe it took a  
couple of shifts for the gears to get all nice and lubricated or  
something, then after it circulated well enough it shifts just fine.

And, i checked under the car after driving it and saw absolutely NO  
leaks, which is nice. Hopefully everything holds up well.

Now, my only issue to tackle is my carb/choke not acting properly.  
Just a bit ago while driving it, the car stalled out on me and the  
oil pressure light came on (no gauge, just dummy lights) I had to  
manually pop open the choke with my finger, and then it would start.  
Why is the oil light coming on? Does that have anything to do with  
the choke? I think i may have a vacuum leak or something, i'm not sure.

Matt
