Is the fluid burnt? (black and nasty smelling)
There are no bands applied in 3rd or OD Are there any transmission codes stored in the computer? |

Your tachometer will tell you the rpm rise when it seems to go out of drive, could be the converter unlocking which will give you a 200 or so rpm rise or it could actually be kicking out of OD which will give you a several hundred rpm rise. The converter unlocking is a known problem and it's caused by electrical interference; it can also be caused by a faulty TPS or misadjusted brake light switch.
With that many miles I would pull the pan and replace the filter...a clogged filter will cause your problem. |

The fluid is NOT burnt,,I drain the pan every time I change engine oil,,I have installed a drain plug in the tranny pan,,makes it easy,,the fluid I drain out seems as clean as the new stuff i put back in,,converter locking & unlocking seems logical,,I,ll look into it,,,Thanks

Here's a link to one commentary on the problem, a Google search will find others.
