'87 5KSA /FWD-Auto "Reverse&Third... Sometimes"??

[Colin Hames]

Possibly an accumulator seal.  I believe you can access this seal from
the pan.  I just spent $200 adjusting bands and flushing fluids to save
my 3 spd autobox and it didn't help at all.  I am told it needs a full
rebuild.  Mine was not clunking into gear but the shifting symptoms are
the same as yours,  except both 2nd and 3rd.
