I searched and couldn't come up with a scenario like this--if I missed one I'm sorry:toothless
I got in Buford (that's my 91 Bronco's name in case you're wondering) Friday night after work and coaxed him to start (-20 something outside) without being plugged in. I waited about 20-30 sec after the oil pressure came up to take off. I got out of the parking lot and around a couple corners before I got to a long enough straight for it to go into 3rd gear. The 1-2 shift was good, but the 2-3 shift didn't happen--it just hung there and let the RPMs go up. I let off then gave it some more gas, I was slow enough for it to go into 2nd. Then it did the same thing on the 2-3 shift. I had to wait for about 20 seconds while the SPs opened the gate and I left base. It didn't do it anymore after that--worked fine.
The problem is that the transmission whines all the time now, especially sitting in Park or Neutral and while slowing down. I checked the fluid tonight when I got home and it's in the cross-hatch area, red, and smells like transmission fluid should. There is no Check Engine light, but I'll hook up and try to pull codes tomorrow.
Without having any codes does anyone have any ideas? Is there any good way to tell if it might be a convertor or pump?
