Need some help, after not finding an answer searching online. Im working on getting my 2g back on the road after rebuilding the engine over the last few years. After having the car aligned a few weeks ago i had an issue that when i stopped at light after 20 min of driving, the car felt like it didn't want to move, almost like the e-brake was on. I tried in L, 2nd and drive and all felt the same. After sitting for a few(10 min or so) it finally started driving normal again. After i got home i checked all the brakes and they seemed fine, not overly hot. Tranny fluid was about a qt low so i thought that might have been the issue, the temp gauge said the trans fluid never got over 190 while driving.
Last night while driving the car around to test things out, when i first started driving there were no issue. However after about 20 min of normal driving the car seems to slip while in 3rd gear. The trans fluid had only warmed up to about 170 ish when this started happening. Putting the car in low and 2nd it drives fine, but as soon as I put the car in drive it free revs after it shifts into 3rd. Reverse works like normal as well. Tried with o/d both on and off, no change.
No TCU codes
Trans mods:
Stock TCU
precision torque converter
IPT Shift kit
New fluid and filter about 1k miles ago
Plenty of fluid checked in neutral
IPT end clutches installed about 5k miles ago
