It is probably your hydraulic pump. Did you jack the car up by the tranny at all or have a cracked bellhousing?

Oh yeah. I had that happen to me a while back. Luckily I was close to home. Probably going to need a rebuild.

do a stall test. if the rpms are where they are supposed to be, should not be it. not that familiar with autos but i think the pump is mechanically connected to the tc (the clunk you get when a tc sinks before you install the tranny). not sure how you could tell if it was just the pump other than line pressure maybe. good luck
