Hey all, i haven't been on in awhile, busy with work and stuff. anyway, my TA still isn't on the road. I'll go out there when the engine is cold, and the car will go forward no prob, reverse with little problem, then when it starts warming up, car only moves when it feels like it.

heres some notes:
-trans fluid level is fine
-no metal shavings in trans fluid
-trans is a year and month old, no hard driving
-shop that built trans shut down couple months ago
-engine is fine, not throwing engine related codes
-throwing some preassure code (i posted about it in another thread months ago with many times i thought i figured it out, its still there. http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26620 (http://www.njfboa.org/forums/../showthread.php?t=26620))

Need some help with this one. Season's almost over and i haven't even gotten 500 miles on the new engine yet, falling behind badly. f-body enthusiast calling for help. lol

it sounds like the front pump its called -- the gears were not changed or the pump it self is worn ( gear cavity ) and the oil when cold is thick and the trans has more pressure, when it heats up the oil thins and its bleeding off - note reverse takes 35% more pressure to operate so its normal for it to be softer when pressure is low -- A TRANS SHOP SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT A PRESSURE GAUGE ON IT AND CONFIRM -- JZ
