ok i have a 90 mark vii with a reacently rebuilt aod and for the last month its been fine i replaced the shifter cable and the gromet for the throtle throw down on i checked the lower horseshoe clamp on the throwdown its fine as well as the the arm is fastened down right. now when mytranny is cold it shifts fine drive like 5 miles and let it warm up and it starts to act up i can hear a slight tinging rattle from around where the tranny is not to shure what that is but im concerned .now once it starts acting up it will not

it to 3rd until 4 grand un less i pound it then it will

allright for a little while.now my tranny guy said that it might be a valve locking up in the tranny due to some gunk he recomended to just try to rock it back and forth to maybe break it free but i got nothing so my question is if any of you have ran in to this and if so please help cause id rather not buy a nother tranny if its going to mess up over this thanks- VII Deadly Sins
