I don't know too much about transmissions, so I'll describe the problem the best I can:
I have a 3000 stall converter, and I was told by the previous owner that it is a non-lockup converter. Twice now, the transmission has not up shifted normally. It will rev like it is in neutral up to about 3000, then start moving forward. It will move a little bit under 3K, but not like it usually does. Unless I hammer it and take it to redline, it won't upshift. It did this a few months ago, and then on the way to the tranny shop it shifted fine. They checked the TV cable and govenor spring, they were fine.
A few days ago it started doing it again, knowing it went away the last time, I've tried driving it 2-3 times, and it kept acting funky. tonight on my way back from the drive, it started shifting normally again. I didn't have time to keep driving and see if it was back to normal.
Tranny is a stock rebuid with about 13K miles on it, no smoke, started leaking a bit just about the time it had this problem the 1st time (unk if related). fluid level has been good on all these drives.
any clue as to what is going on is appreciated.
