Hey guys, my second edition to the family is a 85T.. the tranny was reworked about 20,000 miles ago by the previous owner.. the fluid and filter has been changed, even an external filter added in the tranny line going to the radiator.. I'm having a shifting problem.. really strange it shifts fine when its cold and for about 15 minutes after driving, but the more i drive it .. it wants to shift really quick to each gear when taking off slow, also when i take off sometimes it sounds like it starts off in second gear, something like a standard car taking off in second.. if i give it more gas on take off it ****s pretty normal but its ready to shift out of the gears, going 1st, 2nd, 3rd real quick, i can manuely shift it, and its fine, i can kick it in the butt and it will downshift and react correctly.. just when its warmed up and driving it normal..shift, shift, shift real quick.. I know they say these tranny's are an animal of their own..my cars sit alot and i've heard my 87GN shift quickly after driving it one day.. Hope its not a virus..LOL..i went to a tranny shop and they sold me a little bottle of lube to add, but it didnt fix the problem on the 85T.. they said it may be because of not being driven much.. Thanks for the help.. sure hope its not another rebuild.. Tony
