TPS Sensor and Auto Trans

Who rebuilt your tranny?

That type of slipping is usually an internal problem with on of the clutches. I would take it back to the tranny shop and get them to fix it under warranty.

Yeah, when the tranny was rebuilt the car wasn't running yet, and I didn't know much about finding a good place to work on my car. So I pulled the tranny myself and took it to a local tranny shop. They rebuilt it for 800, and put in a new torque converter for like 200-250, somewhere in there. Problem is, when I put the tranny back on the car and went for a test run to see if it worked, my engine threw a rod. So car sat for a couple of years until I got the new engine in. So I'm pretty sure it's out of warranty since it's been so long (if I ever got one). But definitely worth checking out. And I'm gonna have to go and check the fluid again to make sure that I put the correct amount in. If I recall correctly, after reinstalling the drain pan (and gasket), I had the car off when I put in the fluid, and I could only put in a couple of quarts. Not sure exactly how much it takes, but I don't think I ever checked the fluid level correctly (car at temp and idling). The only thing is I don't think it would be the fluid level if it does lock up while in "L" as opposed to Drive.... Doesn't matter, I'll check anyway.
