Well, i think my tranny may be slipping but i may be wrong here.

When i'm at a dead stop and let off the brake it doesn't "pull" as hard idleing (before i hit the gas pedal). Its almost like the transmission is half in gear or something. Before, this problem would go away after a couple of days, and then it would return. Now its been a week and hasnt fixed itself like usual.

Once in a while (only a handful of times) from a first to second shift it sounds like the tranny misses the gear and revs up to 3 grand or so and then catches.

I also noticed that when driving around in a parkinglot in first or second gear, when letting off the gas, it feels like the tranny is still engaged (similar to driving a manual car and not pushing the clutch in, and letting the car slow down from engine pressure.)

Any ideas???

i just rebuilt the motor and this is gonna suck to have to pull half of it apart to drop the tranny

Check fluid level and condition.

Please include your year and engine either in your profile or better yet in your post.

The fluid level is topped off... maybe a bit overfilled even. But i dont know why it would have been fine all this time and then have problems later down the line if it was working fine with overfilled fluid.

sounds like the torque converter may be locking up a little when you slowing down
