Poor sluggish acceleration/dragging is exactly what the car felt like on the way to and from the car wash, i may go spragless when i send it back to Florida Torque Converter who knows

Dangit, man.

Yank it, toss a convertor at it and fingers crossed, or, have it professionally torn down...etc?

I’ll pull the pan once the trans is out, make a determination if the whole trans needs to be disassembled for cleaning, send the converter back to Florida torque converter to go spragless

Okay so kind of a good update , the trans was low on fluid. After getting the fluid level up it stopped slipping “as bad” and no more bubbles on the dipstick, acceleration felt normal and was night and day better than how it felt last Friday, HOWEVER it still slipped on a couple different occasions this morning, and after a brief break with the car, now the shift box is going straight to 4th gear upon leaving a stop in 1st So I feel like I’m making progress with the car, it’s just obviously not 100 percent right, I don’t know yet but I’m not giving up on it yet

And on another note I need to remove my heat shield or heavily modify it for this fat driveshaft that made contact with it on decal this morning scaring the crap out of me
