Check the Trans Fluid! Had that problem, filled it, was all better for a while! To check the fluid - stop on a level area engage the parking brake & set the tranny in neutral. Pop the hood & check the level if it's within the marks of low to high then your good if not fill it (make sure you use Mopar ATF+3 or ATF+4)! ATF+4 is the synthetic replacement for ATF+3

That solved my problem for a while now I'm getting that same problem when I throttle to heavy (like passing on the interstate). BAD Seals for me.

I called Fastman to get a rebuilt MSaine Trans, but Martin Saine wouldn't rebuild 44RE's, had to go with Power Demon S (well H/D).
Well, let me restate that! MSaine wanted me to ship my trans to him for rebuilding (sorry couldn't do that, to much down time).
