I would check the fluid level first, you never know.

Since it is under warranty still, I'd say your best best would be to bring it back and tell them that it is not working. Describe what's going on just as you have here, but don't shout at them like you did to us (turn off the caps lock).

i was in this same situation when i had an automatic i had to take my truck back 5 times and then they said i voided the warrenty cause i went through a puddle lol.

was the torque converter replaced in the overhaul ? if not, that may be your problem.

J...been there...

I hope they take care of it under warranty, but I'd be skeptical of a rebuild for that little money. When I checked over 3 years ago for my '96 the lowest estimate was $2,600, on up to $3,400.

i did check the level an it is low but im afraid to put fluid in because of what doomie said i do not want my warranty to be voided... an yes the torque converter was replaced during the rebuild... an sorry for the caps i didnt know you took it as i was yelling!
