New fluid won't help this one. It needs professional help.

Just a suggestion, if you are asking for help you should refrain from posting garbage like this.

Your transmission is the most complex mechanical component of your car, and most of us just don't understand them that well. Mark is a great resource, as would be someone with experience rebuilding and replacing these transmissions. But I'm neither, so adding idle speculation would probably not be helpful.

My wild guess would be that something either went wrong when you had it apart or you didn't correct the problem when you were replacing things.

Slightly off topic but seems to almost be a run on snarky replies like this by noobs of late. Lack of immediate or step-by-step replies that solve their problems and suddenly everyone else is at fault.

Must be the weather huh?

Is your speedometer functioning ? One with a faulty PSOM will screw with the transmission's functions.

People up north just don't know the meaning nor the proper use of "Y'all". It can apply to one person, or many people.
