Default whats up with my tranny?

ok i posted this a few days ago but i wasnt too descriptive.

im driving on the highway doin about 50-60ish and i shift into OD at about 2000rpms and it goes into gear fine but its like it loses all power. the car slows down greatly and then like catches up to itself i would say.

say im in 3rd at about 2500 rpms and shift into OD, the shift is fine, its smooth and then its like a HUGE hesitation and the car just put-puts in OD.

the throttle response while in OD is horrible, infact its like there is none. if i want to pass someone its like i have to floor it for the car to move. im not sure if this is just how foxes are but i am very displeased with the top end response. my 4000lb LS 5.0 would smoke my stang from an 80 roll and thats not right....

your o/d might be slipping. or not disengaging from previous quick enough. what gears do you have in the rearend? 2.73's are slugs in o/d

i got 3.23's its the E option under the AX tag right?

alrite when i shift it into OD it waits a second, bogs down, drops RPM's then engages and basicaly the car loses all the momentum it had.

basicaly you hit it on the head, it hesitates and loses momentum and thats why it feels hard.

it litteraly pushes you in the seat cause of the hesitation. its definitely not right... i need someone who knows these trannies to tell me what i need to fix/replace.


thanks
