yeah it seems more noticeable after it it warmed up. i had a problem when the tranny slipped for about 40 miles on the interstate. that ended up blowing out the pump seal and fluid and smoke all over the highway. got that fixed and its been flushed out 3 times since that 2 years ago. might have damaged the torque coverter and/or pump, overheating! doesnt seem to drive bad or anything i beat it pretty hard and havent had a problem since. a little slower cause my heavier 17" rims and bassani catback with resinators removed dropped some low/mid range torque.
