Hello. Just last week my alternator was going bad to the point where my battery went dead while i was driving to the auto part store to pick up a new alternator. Just before the battery died the vans dash went on and off. Thats when i started having problems with the transmission. It worked fine in overdrive but but in all other gears including nuatral the van would act if I had my foot on the brake peddle. The trans fluid level is correct. I even put a new trans modulator valve on it. Im running out of options can you please help thanks.

The check engine light is not on. But the abs @ brake lights goes on for a little while and then goes out.
I even dropped the trans pan to check for any debris and found nothing. Its strange how a trans went from working perfectly with no slipping ever. To slipping accept in overdrive.

It happens. However, I would still have the computer scanned to see if there are any codes. Also, since it only happens in OD, something tells me that it is a sensor or something with the torque converter.
