80 miles west of Joliet IL.
I had mine do that too, plus didn't have reverse. My transmission guy put a checkball in the wrong place in the valve body, and it took another transmission guy to figure out the problem. My trans was a hopped up 350 turbo with a brake, that I ran in a 10 second ElCamino.

well i took the trans to a trans shop and they pulled it apart in front of me and nobody will ever guess what we found !!!!!!!!!! some sort of hard body bug had gotten the trans and blocked a passage and ripped a gasket must have gotten a converter while doing a swap
