Hi Everyone -
I rebuilt my 5r55w trans early last year - had blinking O.D. light problem & codes - turned out to be a broken intermediate band , loose servo bores (i.d & o.d.), and a bad o.d. servo. (Thanks to Exp-Forum) Bores were sleeved, bands where replaced - servo was replaced (among other items). Ran great but now I'm slipping in first gear. It only happens when trans is cold and at the 2nd full stop. I can feel something "kicking" out through the brake pedal. At first it was barely noticeable - but it now I'm 3500-4000 rpm before I'm outta 1st and into 2nd. After that I can drive all day without any issues. So far, I've replaced solenoid pack and low servo - no change. I'm thinking next option is to remove and inspect vb & gasket. Anyone have any ideas what else I might need to look at? All help is appreciated!
