well just got it scanned. P0740 torgue converter clutch circuit malfunctioning. I dont think this is my problem but this does explain my problem while driving on the interstate and i get a rpm surge of a bout 100 rpms but i can hear it more in the exhaust note.

I coulda swore some one on here did a tranny write up but I can't find it. I rememeber reading about the P0740 code as a common code but the actuall problem was deaper in the tranny. Either way it sounds like the tranny has to come out.

I found what I was looking for it wasn't here but somewhere else.

http://www.tripleedgeperformance.com/4T65E_Transmission_Info.php

the guy who runs triple edge is a member over at
www.grandprixforums.net his user name there is Trannyman and he seems like a stand up guy. I would talk to him.
