When I press the gas to take off in drive, there is a lull for about 5 seconds before the vehicle will take off. It shifts through the gears fine while driving, the problem is taking off. I was told to change the transmission filter and possibly the transmission control solenoid. I don't know where the solenoid goes. I always have to drop it in second to take off like normal. Does that sound like what it could be? the engine was rebuilt in 2006, and it only has about 40,000 miles on t

dont' change your fluid, to many miles on it and it will take the gule off the clutches. it sounds like the seal is going bad causing this and if you can put up with it just drive it until the trans goes completely. or take it to a trans pro and let him give an opinion after diagnosising it..
