There appears to be an intermittent problem with my transmission. Often it works fine, but on occasion it seams to switch for days at a time into a mode where it slams into gear. When I shift into drive and while shifting later into higher gears it slams each one in. The problem goes away for weeks at a time and I dont see any pattern for this behavior. The car is completely stock and there has not been any changes made to cause this problem.

TSB# 97-11-11 for 4R70W tranny states...erratic or prolonged 1-2 shift.
94-97 Mustang and others...Replace the cast aluminum piston with the one piece stamped steel piston with bonded lip seals and replace the top accumulator spring. This is due to 1-2 accumulator bore scuffing the revised piston can be used in the scuffed seal bore.
