Tranny acting wierd/ no overdrive

[SHOntell]

The other night I left an interior light on in my car and the battery was dead. I had to roll it out in neutral to get it down the drive etc. Jumped the car, reset the idle and decided to take it for a drive.
It started out great, shifting just fine. Then for some reason, about five minutes into the ride, my car started shifting really firm between 1-2 and 2-3 and O/D was gone.... This stayed like this for about 5 minutes until I stopped my car, restarted it. After resart, the problem continued. I did an easy acceleration from 1-2 and then stomped on it so it would go back down to 1 and see how it reacted. It reacted great, then went smoothly into 2...3....and then O/D...
I didn't have it happen again after that. I haven't had any problems previously, and last week I did a tranny flush/fill and replaced ATX fluid with AMSOIL and the car has been running great.

SO does this mean that my tranny is going bad, or could there have been some cpu/tranny issues if battery was completely dead? Again, I have had no other concern prior to this wieird occurance.

Chech your electrical connections to the trans, particularly the torque converter lock-up solenoid. rangerj

I can't give you any speculation about what might be happing inside or outside of your trans. But, I can tell you that when my trans failed, I lost OD and was having shifts like you. Then, I lost 3rd and got OD back. Then on the way to the tranny shop I had everything. So, could be nothing or could be tranny time.... ...you never know with these things..

Update:
It has been 4 days since the tranny deal occured. I have not had a single problem since. Hope it doesn't come back. The last thing I can afford to do is a tranny, as I just put a ton of cash into the car.

What does a tranny cost usually. I heard the Doug Lewis tranny is a smart thing to by as it has the trans-go shift kit etc. But I heard they are around 2grand. I suppose it is another grand to have it installed.

Starting to wonder if the SHO world is worth being a part of.
