Ok, I've been hoping I might could help a feller board member out sinc i joined this message board.So with that n mind I'll give it my best shot, I have heard the same thing as you have about pulling all the fluid, and putting all new in and in couple weeks, it won't go anymore.I have seen this happen several times.It is my understanding, that what happens is when you drain all the fluid,including the torque converter adn replace with all new, the new fluid "washes the varnish off the clutches" and so it quits pulling. This is what I do and it is my opinion, I'm sure several others have thier own as to how this works, but this is waht I do, I take pan off and let what's in the trans it's self drain, then I replace the filter and put the pan back on, and It should only take about 6 quarts of fluid to be back normal.I have a 78 Trans-am with a turbo 350 trans. and it done almost like what you were talking about, except mine evetually just got to slipping so bad she would'nt move.I asked everyone and whatever they told me to put in the fluid I did and it only got worse. So as a "last resort" I drained the tranny, and changed the filter, and put new gasket on . This tranny has over 120,000 onit when it went into this car, and after the filter change.It pulls better then it did in the other car. This is just my .02 worth, what I do , I hope it helps you out and sorry for being long winded.
