I disagree Norm. I have done alot of reading on the Slim Jim and from everything I've read it is not a strong transmission at all. In fact, in the past month that I have been posting regularly on the site I have seen about 5 or 6 people with negative comments on the early Oldsmobile transmissions.
I mentioned that the "official" name of the transmission is the "Hydramatic" if you buy parts for it from Kanter or Fatsco transmissions then it is referred to as the Slim Jim. These are the only two suppliers I know of for parts for this transmission.
Also, if you are going to quote a dictionary use a real one.
