my question is my trans slips at take off, not all the time,, its intermittent,, I was wondering could it be caused by something other than just a bad trans,like a sensor, or do these trans have belts or bands that can be adjusted, fluid level is correct and I know it needs a flush and new fluid ,,and other than that the car runs great,,sorry I`m a chevy guy and an old school mechanic , after a 350 4 barrell I`m lost,,thanks
