gear...serviced and good as new..has 112,000 miles on it too.

Subject: DML: A518 experts?
Any tranny experts out there? Mine has long (50,000) been often reluctant
to
shift into OD. When it's cold, around town it almost never does. On the
highway it will after 10 to 50 miles at 60. In the summer I have a 50/50
chance
on short hops. I have replaced the OD/lockup solenoid and speed sensor, and
the scan tool shows proper temp readings, throttle position. Notably the
lockup doesn't function either although (I and only I) can feel a slight
change at
45 when it is supposed to lockup. When it does decide to function correctly
it shifts as good as the day I drove it off the lot until it is shut off.
I
suspect a control valve is sticking but I don't know if that would be in the
valve body or in the OD unit. I have changed out the computer back to stock
but
no difference.
Anyone?
