I see no other signs of misbehavior, it drives and shifts normal on city streets and highway otherwise. Regardless of the engine idle speed I use I have the issue. I reset the idle mixture and speed from high to normal factory spec last night and same thing happens. It only happens when I'm...

Thanks for the thoughts! I will re-read the converter testing part of the book and check that out. Converter is still a strong impression to me so far and honestly its an easier fix than many other potential issues now that I feel good about the engine. I'll check converter test then depending...

Yeah I was just reading that section of my book and landed at a similar spot. I think band checks seem like the next logical possibility. I don't remember how much I can see of the overrunning clutch without disassembly but I'll see what I can do. "Drags/locks" seems like an appropriate...
