Ok ive been researching and testing til im ready to explode this exploder... well almost.... during most cold starts it runs fine shifts fine and doesnt seem to have any issues related to the drivetrain other than the traction control being disabled and not working.... other times during a cold start it doesnt matter what gear i put it in, it takes almost half throttle to get it to budge. Warm starts are opposite, as in most it wont budge and rarely works right. but no matter how good it works on a cold start after about 30-45 mins of running it just quits going and leaves you stranded. ive ohmed out all the electrical circuits, all good, ive tested line pressures, again all are good, fluid level has been checked 5 times at diff fluid temp levels that ive been told was the issue and that doesnt seem to be off either. it worked perfect until i had the fluid and filter changed. doesnt seem to be the servo bore issue as it affects all gears and im running out of ideas other than rebuild or replace. anyone got any ideas i havent thought of?
 






IIRC these transmissions are notorious for the servo bores and bad shift solenoids. Is it throwing any codes?
 






generally just VB issues ;)

it hasnt thrown any codes, however it did flash the overdrive light after i changed the fluid and filter but since i checked the fluid level the second time it hasnt done that again.
