Have a 1995 GT with the AODE. Car has 69,000 miles but trans was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago before we bought it (found receipt in glove box). Last year I put a Trans-Go shift kit in and accidentally reversed 2 of the plugs on the solenoids and it caused a lurching on the 1-2 shift and a bog when stopping with a chatter. Next day dropped the pan and fixed it. Put 4000 miles on it last summer and it ran flawless. Had it out a couple of times this year and all was fine. Last week it started doing it again. I believe the torque convertor isn't unlocking. No CEL but it's a 1995 with OBDI so not sure it would trigger a light? Tonight I dropped the pan and was hoping to find a plug came disconnected but all looks good there. Plan to replace the TCC solenoid and see if that fixes it? Any other ideas? I'm not a trans guy so I'm lost here. Car is sold so need to get this fixed ASAP.
Thanks!
 
Torque converter gets signal from brake switch to unlock. Had the same issue on my e150 with AODE. Felt like a hard dragging downshift when stopping.
