hi all i have a prob with my auto i no its probably stuffed but just want your opions, sometimes when i stop and go to take off its like i dont have a 1st or 2nd gear, it takes off in 3rd?? when i manually shift to 1st the rear wheels lock up as if i have braked hard if im goin fast enough wheels will lock up and then it will shift to 1st and work again as normal, its a jatco 4speed with a 2800stall any ideas??? thanks

Who built the trans? Is it running a manual valve body? I know with my own Jatco 4spd if ive been manually shifting it it will stay in top sometimes. So is yours manual valve body?
