Doesn't sound right to me [read: B.S.]. I have never heard of that before. You can call the guy on it easy, though. Replacing the pan gasket is cheap; just ask him to do that. If it fixes the problem, I'd be extremely surprised. Heck, even cheaper would be a free scan at an autoparts store. A shift as bad as he's relating would definitely throw a code.

My honest opinion is that the transmission needs a rebuild.

its not throwing any codes, the guy said he had it scanned.

I'd "test drive it" and put it thru some work and take it and get it scanned yourself so you know for sure.

Scott...sounds like one of the valves in the valve body is either sloppy in it's bore or hanging up a bit. Take a look around Dave's site for the symptom.

If that's what Dave or the symptoms suggest, pick up a redone VB/Channel plate off Dave along with a hardened 4th clutch hub and the few gaskets.

I've got ripping the subframe and lowering the drivetrain to get the side cover off down to a science. Then it's a few bolts and the valve body/channel plate is out and we can drop in the new 4th hub, VB and channel plate, button it up and off ya go. Probably 4 hours with a helper if that.
