Do you have engine related codes? If it is a lockup clutch issue you should get a 1870 code. If the clutch is bad then the converter will need to be opened up and checked out. Vince

wow
Flooring it isn't going to burn the trans up.
Flooring it at 70 should cause a downshift.
Here are two videos I had already, there are three 4-3 downshifts, one at wot.
This one I was trying to not let it downshift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv7jlr6LpbE
This one is a wot downshift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb4DUGWhAqM
I built my trans, not worried about it burning up. And if it does I'll build it better.

I'd manually downshift it and see what happens.
I'd guess a lean condition. It's hard to do over the internet as you know.
Maybe check the fuel pressure, thats easy and can be done for free if you rent the gauge.
Maybe pull a spark plug out, make sure it's not dark (rich).
Make sure the wires are on good, seen a few posts about that causing problems. What about the spark plugs? I've seen posts about cracked plugs causing problems too, not too hard to put a hairline crack in one during installation.

It sounds like an engine problem to me.

i may be running rich or lean with the mods ive done. i still need a tune and tune things out. i have had detonation/ping. could detonation and ping cause drivability issues with the tranny? i think my old plugs i just changed were black. does a lean or a rich mixture cause detonation/ping?
Thats a good place to start, getting it tuned.
