Default 4l60e

I've got a buddy with a 2002 SS Camaro with auto. He just purchased brand new GM 4L60E from local dealership and put a 3200 street fighter TCI stall in it. The car ran fine for about 200 miles , then started the current problem. It'll drive when first started for about 100 yards then go into a false nuetral. He'll have to turn car off and wait about 10 minutes , then restart and the car will run sbout another 100 yards, it will shift through all 4 gears smoothly until false nuetral shows up again. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Did he get it tuned? Also, any CEL's? Try hooking it up to a scanner and clearing codes, and see if that helps.

he has a Hypertech power programmer on the car. It's not showing any codes until it goes into false nuetral. but once he restarts the car all codes are cleared.

last time I talked to him he pulled the tranny back out of the car. I didn't know if his problem was a common one or not. Thanks for the help though..
