Well it could be a few things. You can check the 2-3 valve train if it's stuck. There is no spring there so it's not going to push back. Take it out and put it back. You can swap the 1-2 and 2-3 shift solenoids. See if it shifts the same. The solenoids are identical. 1-2 has a spring so don't loose anything if the springs pushes some valves out.

You can also check 2nd apply piston seals for damage.

The above two things I can explain how to do, they're pretty simple.

Other then that this is the stuff you can't really do without knowing your way around the trans.

- accumulator valve
- input housing assembly
- 3rd accumulator retainer and ball assembly not seating

Thanks for the help and yes I wish you would tell me I am mechanically inclined but this new computer stuff gives me brain farts.I like the speed of the new cars but prefer to work on older.Looks like I need to buy the helms repair manual also?But if you will help I would appreciate it a great deal.
