pulling the trans is not bad at all to do, I have built several but with as many tranny issues as you have had I be sending it to Mike L. because there might be something wrong inside that a DIY would never notice but Mike could spot.
Thats exactly what I was thinking, I originally put the trans in about 3 years ago, took a solid day to R&R it. I am NOT looking forward to those damn Torque converter bolts!!!
tq converter bolts are easy take off the skid plate and use a long extension to reach in and get them. easy as pie 
You just go in thru the starter hole, and turn the flexplate thru the inspection plate to get to them all.
ya, but with my lift kit I am pretty sure I cant get an extension straight through! The dropdown x-member is in the way if IIRC. and that starter hole isnt very big!
When I shipped my tranny I got a good pallet, preferably one made of hard wood, sat the tranny on it, blocked the sides and built a plywood box around it. I had the box screwed down to the pallet and the front flush with the front of the tranny and bolted through the plywood into the housing. You could put acouple of straps over the tranny first if you want before you build the box. You could have dropped that sucker out of a plane and not hurt it. When it got to ATS there was some serious grousing about getting it unpacked, but what the hell it got there in one piece. I shipped with a trucking company called Oak Harbor freight, very reasonable in shipping price. I'm sure they have them in Spokane.

At least you don't have 12 of them, like the ATS 5 star and billet flex plate have.
Anyone have a TCM that I can try out?? I found one at my local pull and steal but its ~$150, i dont really want to buy one because that might not be my issue. TIA -Jeff
Chad, where are you at?
After talking to Mike I am going to try and run it with a different TCM and see if that is the issue before I yard it out, Saturday is on hold for now!
