Angry Trans problem "HELP"

Well here is the problem,my trans has been been acting up for sometime but most recentley.Everytime I come to a full stop I go to accelerate and the RPM's jump up to 35k-4k before it grabs the gear and jerks you back.Also notice while driving the RPM's stay high just cruising around town.I think the valve body is taking a dump on me,maybe its time for a rebuild.I've taken it to the dealership,but I heard the horrible story of the remans they put in.So I guess all the few mods I planed on doing are being put on hold till I get this piece of SH*T trans rebuilt.

Any thoughts or does it seem right from what I explained.
Thanks fellas
Dom

*might be time for TEP setup*

Sucks, Dom.

My rebuild died this way, as you probably know. Call Dave @ TEP and see what he says. Maybe you can get deal.

BTW- I used that spare tranny I had as payment to Dave for the parts I needed. It's a good thing I didn't sell it to you because according to Dave, it had more than the 10k miles I was told and had TCC material in the valve body. It was a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off.

My tranny died on Sunday,when I was out in Santa Monica.Doesn't look like I will be fixing soon and I don't plan on the dealer tranny.Gonna wait it out till next yr,hopefully I should have my settlement from my accident by that time so I can fix this B*tch.

Sucks, man. I'm really sorry to hear that.

Are you going to try to get the dealer to warranty it, headers not withstanding?
