    That's pretty dedicated, spamming for a reply every ten minutes. Change the oil.

    Slips or revs out? If its all gears then Id say kickdown cable.

    could be the kickdown or not enough fluid or did you leave the torque converter on the flexplate and lift the box onto it like you shouldnt do.

    Yeah I experienced this 4-5 times after a rebuild, due to shonky installers wont mention there buisness. Ended up being the kickdown cable, and once they forgot to re-fill the tranny with oil both things resulting in gears slipping/holding gear/reving out
