[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 569968, member: 52972"] Have someone check for any possible error codes. It may have just been a minor glitch, but it could be that the valvebody solenoids are sticking causing the transmission to slip when shifting (usually between 2nd and 3rd gear) . The transmission has sensors that monitor the speed of various gear sets to dedermine if one gear has fully disengaged before attempting to engage the next gear. If the solenoid sticks, it delays the shifting out of gear and the transmission will not shift to the next gear until the previous gear has released. This partial release causes excessive clutch and band wear and excessive heat. If you have not had your transmission fluid changed/flushed within the last 20k-30k miles, you may want to check it an make sure it does not smell burnt. If it is burnt just a little bit, I would still recommend getting a tranny flush. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
