tranny gasket was leaking

Changed trans fluid, filter and gasket. Now my tranny acts like it is drunk, when I come to a stop, and try to accelarate again, it will try to about a second or two before downshifting into 1st again, then all is fine until the next stop sign or light. problem gets less noticable about 15-20 minutes into the trip.

i used "high milage" tranny fluid from auto zone, and the only gasket and filter kit they had. i was considering adding lucas transmission fix, thier engine stuff works great, fixed the blow by i had.

make sure that the fluid level it up to mark with engine running
