yeah..just came back from the garage (specialized in drivetrain), I explained the symptoms, they road tested it and knew right away that it was the TC Clutch. He says they see that problem all the time. They changed the fluid and added a bottle of Lubegard additive and said that usually takes care of the problem and that I shouldn't be concerned about it. Thanks for all your help!

One thing you can do is slap a magnet onto the bottom of the tranny pan if its steel, this will keep any steel shavings or pieces from the lockup IF it is shedding pieces from damaging the tranny anymore, cheap somewhat protective insurance. Glad you found out what it was though, now you dont have to wonder anymore
