Weird Transmission Problem
I had the transmission rebuilt about 800 miles ago and the Duty C Solenoid replaced as well with a new one. Now when I pull up to a red light and stop, in about 3 or 4 seconds, the transmission seems to catch up with the idle while I am in "drive". I can feel a very slight forward jerk in the car. My foot is on the brake so nothing happens. It just seems the transmission winds down several seconds after I stop. Any ideas on this one?? I don't know if this is serious enought to take my to my trans. shop.

It is not a noise. It's a "feel". You can actually feel the transmission slowing down after you stop and then the slight movement. I will take it back, but I thought if anyone has an idea what is causing this, it would help in what still needs to be done.

That feeling is your transfer clutch letting go (binding). It's stuck on. Possibly the Duty C is sticking. Some people have used Limited Slip Additive to make it go away.
One person solved the problem by replacing a faulty TCU.
