I don't know enuff about this car to be an expert, but I'm going to theorize my situation.

Let's see what you experts might think ......

My thoughts are, the "drone" I was experiencing with my automatic (as explained in my full post 0n 6/11), has virtually disappeared. I am thinking that with the combination of improper tranny fluid level, and possibly not exactly the right type of fluid, the torque converter had a slight delay (or "hiccup" if you will) when shifting, causing the engine to rev slightly different, and tricked out the TCM, which caused the muffler system to harmonically "drone" ! I wish I knew what I was talking about technically .. LOL
