I will check. If I need a new tranny, I am selling it or parting it out.

I just flushed the fluids last week and put n new stuff.

That's why it's crappin out on you. When you flush a older transmission, it can excelerates the death of the trans. It's was going to go out on you anyway, but by replacing all the fluid and there by taking out some of the stuff that was adding friction and such to your bands/clutches and band aiding your trans along.

If that makes sense.

I would almost best that the modulator is bad, look for the vacuum line come from the modulator to the intake and check for any fluid in the hose. Also there is two bands in the tranny, they require being torqued to a certain in/lbs and backed off I believe two turns.
