Are you not changing the fluid? Mow meny miles are you driving in two+ years? I am now starting to have over drive slip a little. Another question is do you have a tranny fluid cooler?

Try new solenoid pack . Line pressure solenoid might be weak.

well like I said I rebuilt it twice i n such a small period of time that its not the fluid for sure its some thing with the way they rebuild it it never rode the same. I'm in kind of in a hurry to make up my mind about installing a used tranny from japan but I need some feed back on them has anybody tried it?? I like the Idea of doing a swap to 5 speed but I don't think I have made enougth research about it until know and it seems every body is having electrical problems .

if you take another 2-3hours to swap wire harness and ecu you shouldn't have any wire probs...
