I had this prolem before with a 1989 GMC safari and I found a cable (steel) that activate shifting loose. do you think it could be the same. I don't even know if my 2000 Astro have the same cable.
thank you very much for any help.

could be the governor gear. it is plastic and tends to dish in the middle causing low pressure.

get a trans shop to verify for you and get a bid.
