you described. Doesn't take rocket scientist mentality. I've been
doing it for years. Your problem is probably the fluid is dirty and
semi cloging the filter (causing enough suction force to cause low
fluid pressure to the bands/pistons/clutchpacks that cause the shift).
I have one in an '89 that had two thrust bearings go bad in the OD unit
and that litterally caused the transmission to self destruct. Cost me
over $700 just for parts/gears and I got them from a friend who is in
the business at his cost. I did the work myself. It is OK now (Have
about 35000 on it since the rebuild), but I consider those two bearings
to be Piss-Poor design.
I regularly change my fluid/filter at 30000 miles now in all my
vehicles. It may be a waste to some folks, but for the $15 or so oer
change, I consider it good insurance.
