Can anyone tell me what my problem is ? I don’t want to replace my transmission…
Long story short I installed a cam and headers then suddenly my transmission started leaking from the pan. Drove with low fluid for a couple days until I noticed it then got it changed. A couple days later it started acting funny and was having a power loss at wide open throttle and would shift hard when it’s ready to go to the next gear. But before it shifts hard, if you keep your foot all the way down on the pedal, it feels like the car or transmission is vibrating and like the brakes is sticking slowing the car down but its not (power loss I’m talking about). Any help would be appreciated

Did the fluid look brown (instead of bright pink) or smell burned?
Was there much for flakes of junk or glitter of metal in the bottom of the pan?

If those conditions were present... The friction material on your clutch plates is toast and it will need a rebuild.

It could also be a torque converter issue but glitter or much friction material in the pan would indicate a transmission issue.

It was still bright red no flakes , I forgot to add that if your driving around the city just cruising it shifts perfectly fine
