HI everyone! This is on my 99 Limited SOHC 4X4 with (I believe) the 5r55e trans. Last Wednesday went to a neighboring city for a Dr appt (21 miles)
Came to a couple of stoplights on the but didn't notice anything being wrong. Got to my last turn and waited for the light to change. When I accelerated rpms went up but little to no movement for a number of seconds, tried shifting from D to 1 with no change back to drive and finally got moving and made it to the parking lot.
Had to go right in for my appointment but don't remember how long I was in (however long it takes to do an MRI). Came out sure I was gonna need a tow but put it D and it it drove like normal all the way back.
Today had to return to same place and had the same issue and again drove back home with no issues.
I'm not sure what to make of it. I changed the Tran fluid two years ago when I got it. After that had o/d light flash and code was for the torque converter not locking, apparently need a solenoid. Decided to just live with it because getting the pan off the trans on the 4x4.is a nightmare. Been driving and towing a trailer at times with no issues.
Anyone have any advice on why or what to do?
