I have a 2000 EX PSD with 120k miles. All stock except 1705 SCT. When it's first started it runs like a champ, perfect shifts and no problems. After it gets warm, when I take off from a stop and give it about half throttle it stays in first gear and RPMs go up to 3-4k. I have to let off and let it get back to almost an idle before it shifts into 2nd. If I take off from a stop and give it about 1/4 throttle it will shift fine. I just removed the SCT, but I haven't driven it. I don't want to grenade the tranny. Anyone had this happen before? Is it just a sticking solenoid or valve body? Or does this sound PCM related, or is my tranny or TC toast? I bought the vehicle with 80k and don't know what's been done to it, there is no chip in the PCM. The tranny fluid is full, but dark. Doesn't smell burnt.
Thanks in advance,
Bobby
