it was only 170*. the fluid level is fine. like i said i think its time for a full rebuild but i had no problems till the converter went in. but im gonna check tuning issues first.
Are you throwing any sort of misfire codes or any codes at all? I remember my car would go into 2nd gear start every once in awhile usually when the trans temp got hotter and obviously I had to give it alot more gas to get it going I cant remember if it would lock up or not when it did that. Maybe the next time you drive the car and it does it shut it off for a few min then restart it and drive it and see if its still messed up that would cure my 2nd gear start issue then I just deleted a code and havent had it since and hopefully it doesnt re occur.

I had a similar problem with my SS3800 when I installed it. The car would get started, drive fine until it shifted into OD and had to unlock the 'verter when slowing down. Then, the MIL would come on, and I wouldn't have 2nd and 3rd gears until I reset the MIL. I replaced both shift solenoids because they were cheap; no dice. I had the slip code deleted; no dice. It wasn't until I drove with the car in 3rd (until I got on the freeway, at speeds where the tranny wouldn't downshift) that the problem went away. After that, I never had a problem with codes, or the tranny only having 2nd and 3rd gears.
