[V8] Trans question

[Jeremy Ward]

Have you pulled the codes for the transmission?  If not, it may be
worthwhile:

Shawn had a similar problem a while back.  So long ago in fact that the car
was pearl white (not red) and had twice as many cylinders!  :-)  I believe
his problem turned out to be a solenoid inside the transmission.  I think
the part was a bit pricey, but at least it is accessible w/o removing the
transmission...

Shawn, this sound like the same problem you were having?

Cheers,

I just had the heretofore perfect transmission serviced and now there's a 
problem with stalling.  Sometimes when I put the car in D or R after a cold
start 
and begin to roll, the engine dies - as if overloaded.  Today it quit just
as 
I started-off after stopping for a traffic light. I read that low ATF can 
cause stalling in a TSB so I checked the ATF level after a 15 mile warm-up
and if 
anything, it was on the high side.  (Dipstick indicated FULL, my TSB on that

subject says it should read in the middle of the range.)

Does anyone know what's going on?  Are these cars sensitive to different 
brands of Dexron ATF?  Yikes! Never fix a working system!

Thanks in advance, Craig
