Trans is getting worse...
So, sometimes when I first drive the car in the morning, I put it into drive and the car barely moves forward. I give it gas and the engine revs much higher than it normally would to go accelerate that much. It shifts fine into second. And after it'* been warmed up, this condition goes completely away.
I know this is bad. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions(besides rebuild/get used)?

I've been doing a little research and I found that the only thing that changes between the OD 1st and OD 2nd in terms of fluid flow is 1 solenoid. This solenoid activates the 1-2 shift acculumator and applies the 2nd gear clutches.
While I'd still have to take the side cover off, and the pump cover, I don't think I would actually have to pull the valve body off to change the solenoid. Here it is right here:
I'm not saying I'm going to jump and do this, just putting it out there.

If you have the transmission already out of the vehicle, I would definately have the tranny rebuilt! This will save you a headache down the road. Even if you don't know how to rebuild the transmission, take it to a transmission shop and tell them your an independent repair show and ask them how much its going to be for a bench job if you provide the parts. I've done this several times with my cars, and it ended up costing me like $200.00 for the bench job. I've never had a bad experience with any of the shops I've used!
