Question about TH350

[JDaw]

I need some help with my trans.
New th350 purchased from jegs, but made by B&M. I dont drive it often, maybe once a week at most. Ive noticed over the last few months that it has been doing this weird issue where when I first start it up. It will not go into any gear. I let it idle for sometimes up to a five to ten minutes and then it will go in reverse or drive and operate as usual. Ive finally gotten around to trying to tackle the problem. When I contacted B&M they say that it is an issue with a stuck valve that is allowing the torque converted to empty itself when it sits and recommend I drive it more frequently to help un-stick the valve. Does this sound right? I have checked fluids and they are all adequate. Anything else I can check? Of course it is out of warranty so Im a big fan of the "it will fix itself" answer, if that is in fact the case.

Thanks

My 1966 GTO came with that terrible TH300 2 speed tranny. It has the same housing as the TH350 so I swapped one in for better drivability. That car was only driven once a week (if that often) for years and the tranny never had a problem. Now I beat the heck out of it when I did drive it so that may have kept the fluid flowing better.

check the fluid before you start it if the converter is draining back it will look like it is way overfull

I'd say take their advice and drive it more and see if it gets better. That is an unusual problem.
