This all started Saturday afternoon.. I was out messing around and it felt like something was holding the car back. So I decided to do a tranny fliud & filter(AOD) change since that is where it felt like, the trans..Anyway did the fluid & filter chang & went out to get the trans up to temp to check fluid. All seemed fine then when I took off from a light, everything was good, shifted into second gear, everything good, but when I shifted into third it felt like I hit the brakes. Car nosed over and slowed down,, shift back to second and everything goes back to normal, until I shift back to third and it does it again. Feels like 2 gears are enagaing at the same time. Any suggestions..

Love to help brother but I don't know much about auto's... only thing I can guess at is line pressure or TV cable issue but would think that that would be apparent in all gears not just 3rd.

Back up to the top! Good Luck man

there is a cork gasket in there that sometimes comes out, and if not replaced, can create some weird characteristics. just thought i would toss that out in case it rings a bell.

good luck.
