Problems with 2nd gear- Please Help!!!!! I have only 500 miles on this tranny, and I cannot figure out what is wrong with it. I was driving the day before yesterday and everything was awesome. Yesterday, I hop in it to drive and 1st gear is fine, but when I shift to 2nd, it feels like the brakes are grabbing and feels like the tranny is just slipping bad. Even when I go to downshift into 2nd it does not deselerate at all. If I shift to 3rd it is fine. The tranny is a TH-350, manual valve body, Art Carr Torque Converter 9 1/2, 2200 stall. What the hell could of gone wrong when it sat overnight? Please help, I am supposed to run it this weekend!!! Thanks in advance!!

I am trying to gather a list of people that are having problems with them and what the problems they have been having.
I am on my third tranny from them in less then a year. The last one they sent me did not have the bell housing painted black like they normally do. The tranny went out again, I sent it back and now they say that I have tampered with it because it is not black and they are voiding my warranty.
