The torque converter takes awhile to fill with fluid.Was it full when installed? Also when hot,old transmissions like to shift better. Perhaps running the engine and shifting gears for an hour will help out. The first transmission sounded like a gunked up valve body. Last resort for both transmissions would be ( in my opinion) seafom trans tune. Get it at advance auto.Accept no substitutes. |
