Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your GTO , I will do my best to assist you with this issue. A live optional phone call will be automatically offered by JustAnswer, But I can not do calls at the moment we can carry on with text? It may take a moment for me to get back to you as I may have to look up information about your concern, So I really appreciate your patience. This problem you have is the solenoids, after getting warm they start to short out. Also possible restrictions in the hydraulic lines in the valve body? The valve body will need to be removed and inspected. First check transmission Fluid it should be a nice clear light red to clear light Brown if dark brown to black then you have internal transmission issues. Check the fluid with the engine at running temp for best results, check with the engine running. My goal is to provide you with excellent service. <u>If you need more help, please let me know so l can continue to assist you.</u> Simply reply back if you require additional information and I will be happy to help with any follow up questions. I am not done until you are happy. Kindest regards Greg
