tranny problems???

[PureChevy]

I think my tranny is acting up. here are the symptoms: when going around curves, it seems to slip out of gear, but it only seems to happen when going left around a curve. And when cold it takes more to move. You have to push the gas a lot harder to get it to go. It is almost like i have to let the tranny warm up for it to engage. Any ideas?

it is a auto 350 tranny.

please help.

Sounds like it's low on fluid.
My driveway is a small incline and when my 350 does as you describe,
that's when I know mine is a little low.

alright,

thanks vtblazer. I had to have the oil changed a few weeks ago and asked them to check the tranny flluid. They probably didnt do it. I will check it today.

should i check it hot or cold?

Check it HOT and while the engine is running after you have driven it or atleast put it in drive and then reverse and then back into park.

thanks fellas. checked it over lunch and it was low, added some fluid and now runs like a charm. I would have never imagined that being a little low on tranny fluid would have such an impact. thanks again.
