I've never even heard of that... But I'll ask around...

Sounds like the same thing that happened to a C-4 I had once. Took trans apart and it looked like new except one seal was hard as a rock and broke like spaghetti. The car would take off fine in second gear. Don't know much about automatics but replaced the seal and it has been fine ever since.

Is you fluid low? Ironically, I sometimes have the same problem but almost everytime it happens, it's about a quart or so low on tranny fluid.
I'm not sure of that is the reason it does it or not though...

Make sure the fluid is actually full.
If the breather is plugged it will give an incorrect reading.

I have seen the separator plate in the valve body gasket blow
causing this.
The worst scenario is worn piston seals.

I second the seals and fluid level.
Actually, you could also have heat hardened seals, which when warmed up, return to their somewhat pliable/elastic state.

What transmission do you have and has any work been done on it recently? Other than the filter/fluid change, of course.

Perhaps some Lucas may help.
