1999 Chevrolet Lumina APV 3.1 V6 mileage: 88,000. I have a Chevy Lumina van. I knew it was one quart low on transmission fluid, so went to the gas station to put fluid in. Got fluid in checked level everything good, so get in van to drive away, put in gear van jumps and stalls out. Then I tried to go foreword, same thing, jumps and stalls. No indication when I stopped that it was going to do that. The van runs very good it will idle, but soon as you put in gear, it will stall out. I think, maybe it’s the transmission locked up, but it will roll after stalling out and start right back up as soon as you hit the key. PLEASE HELP!

Your car has a lock-up torque converter in the transmission. It locks-up only in high gear. It is supposed to disengage at lower speeds. Yours is not disengaging. There is probably a valve in the transmission “hanging up”. Having the transmission serviced with new fluid may help the problem. The next step, the valve body will have to be removed and cleaned paying special attention to the TCC solenoid. You may need to replace the torque converter clutch solenoid in the transmission.
