Hello I have a Supercharged V6 VY S Auto, Transmission was rebuilt 1 year ago but 2 weeks ago the transmission oil pump failed when the car was out of town so the transmission had no oil pressure and lost drive. While the car was waiting for the tow truck for about 2hours the engine was left idling.
I pulled the transmission out and could see the pump had failed so replaced the pump and put the transmission back in the car.
Took it for a test drive for 15 min and the transmission work perfectly.
I turned the car off and 20 min later went to go out in it and when I put it into drive it would slip and not engage if I give it a small amount of revs it clicks into gear and feels normal unless you accelerate sort of hard about 1/2 throttle. dose the same in reverse, checked the oil was a bit overfull but clean.
Could this be a torque converter issue or something else any suggestions before I pull it out again? Cheers
