2000 GP GT 4d 182k - Perfect engine, body, chassis etc.
Problems are:
Once warm it slips from a stop (shuddering as if though grabbing and releasing the clutches), however once you're in second it's fine and if you stab the gas it'll downshift into first and not slip a bit. This is resolved with no shudder or slam by manually selecting first gear then going to drive after it winds out)
Sometimes when merging into traffic and easing on the gas the tach will bounce like the Torque converter is locking and unlocking - this is resolved by applying more pedal to unlock the converter OR letting up so it isn't in that almost ready to unlock stage. Otherwise shifts are GREAT.
first problem sounds like a pressure control solenoid issue.. goin in and outta lockup could possibly be a TCC solenoid issue. get it scanned and let us know what if any codes are present in PCM
