your engine is fine,basically a small block chevy with 2 cylinders removed,auto transmissions are always suspect because people dont change the fluid and over heat them,a transmission cooler is highly recommended $40 at rockauto,com  http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?...59&jsn=559

now the "wallow" when does it happen?
do you have trailer brakes?

A tranny cooler and a flush and fill is on my to do list.  No one in the family knows if the tranny has ever been serviced.  My mechanic checked it out when I got it and we made a list of obvious things I needed to use it for a tow vehicle and he said the fluid looked good and didn't smell bad.   <or something like that on the smell part.

The wallow is only when one wheel hits a dip or low spot when the other 3 have missed it.  This town has some of the worst places going into parking lots or crossing from one road onto another.  This county and some around it have really bad flooding issues.   A 5 star rated mobile home park my family lived in back in the late '70s and early '80s and much of the surrounding area was condemed due to flooding sometime in the mid or late 80's.  Just since I have been back a few years ago we were  cut off from another town by flood waters.  This town about 3 years ago resurfaced many roads and raised them 1 to 2 inches in places.  Many intersections have dips to funnel high water away from the streets and into road drains.

Between the heat and humidity here I could be living in south Louisiana and enjoying some cajun cooking and music.

The trailer does not have brakes.  I have a new GMC controller put up for future use, that was a gift.  I like practical gifts
