When I make a turn around a corner it will seem to slip a little, I let of roll thru turn and then it seems to lock back in. I let off throttle and coast thru turn, then after rolling straight, I can accelerate. Only happens just after I start driving, once I am driving it goes away. Only happened twice. I checked fluid and it took a full quart and a hair more to bring it to the good mark. I havent drove it yet, I will be heading out in a few.

Think that was the prob? Can 1 quart really cause this?

6 speed with SC IV and 1058 running Dex 6

Sounds like low fluid. Was the fluid topped off after engine work. The radiator leaking out trans fluid is the biggest culprit and rarely does the tech ever check the fluid and top it off.

Honestly, I've done 2 spin on changes, Maybe the oil in the spin-on made it that low cause I have habit of just switching and not re-fill..... Also just looked, and rear seal must be leaking just a tad...

Rear seal you see is for the transfer case and should not have anything to do with the problem Mike. Call me if you need me.Cell # is in sig.:hug:
