Hi Guys.

I have an issue where my VS takes off real slowly, it feels as if you are driving with the brakes on, at the same time this started to happen, it began to engage real harshly from Park to Drive. Is this generally a problem with one of the shift solenoids or is there other common issues that can cause this sort of problem. Sometimes downshifting all the way to 1 can get it to kickdown and go a bit faster, but not very quick.

Trans fluid Levels are fine not leaking at all, this happened almost like day and night.

Trans code was 66 which is a downshift solenoid, but the taking off in 4th Issue seems to say to me that one of the Shift A or Shift B Solenoids would not be working?
