Hello members and friends...it been a while since I've been here..

200GPGT
135K

Problem 1) Noticed hard gear change..added fluid Lucas and remedied..for a day. Fluid level is good, maybe even a bit over. Now it's either happening or isn't. Doesn't seem to be heat dependent as it might happen in the AM..or not. Maybe appears in the PM..or not.

Now the next thing happening is also a bit bizarre. Cruising maybe ~50-60 ~2000RMP going up slight grade..and I can sometimes see the tach bouncing about 50 RPM. It sometimes happens on deceleration too.

Any Ghost busters out there?

First i would recommend a fluid and filter change ,and make sure the level is correct these trans. are ver- fluid level sensitive,the second problem sounds like UR having convertor lockup problems tr- manuall- dropping the trans. to 3rd gear when going up an incline or the motor is turning less than 2200 rpm .Chico(pops)
