transmission goes into neutral in right turns
so my car is fucking up again, i think it's the torque converter this time. whenever i make a right turn the car just revs like it popped into neutral, and every once in a while it starts making a weird whining noise that can be made louder and quieter by stepping on and letting off of the pedal. it also doesn't like to move from a stop in the morning right away, i have to let it creep forward a bit then it moves fine. anyone have a good idea of what's wrong? i had a bad pan gasket leak last month and it ran low for a while but i'm pretty sure its full now.
i just filled it with fresh fluid less than a week ago when i did the pan gasket. it made the weird noise before that but the right turn thing just started happening like 3 days ago. its kind of a bitch to check the oil regularly though, the bolt that holds the dipstick in broke off flush with the trans, and i cant find a way to extract it without dropping the trans so i just have a plug in it most of the time. i'll check it tomorrow though when i can get it on a lift.
My 4EAT does the same thing in the mornings. I let the car sit for a month and I had to hold the pedal at 2500rpm for a few seconds before the car would move.
I'm shopping around for a transmission right now. I've considered the transmission additive, but even my gas mileage has dropped about 8mpg from slippage.

Are you sure you checked the level correctly? The engine needs to be running, the gear selector slowly moved through all the gears and back to park.
Did you do all that when you checked the level?
