Right - my vote is the leaking pickup - increasing line pressure works only if the hydraulic supply is good - 3rd gear slip fails when the hydraulic supply is bad - seems to point to bad filter\seals, imo - maybe even loose valvebody bolts.....................

I replaced the trans filters (with NAPA brand) around 5000 miles ago and I did notice a few hard shifts once in a while but not hard shifting. Today I pulled my buddies 1500lb fishing boat no more then 50 miles, it pulled it fine and it was way under the tow limit. On the way home with out the boat it started shifting funny and not it wont go into over drive and it has a huge delay in shifting. Nothing to do with turns but maybe the boat ramp triggered it? Need some input here because I going to need to get it fixed asap and dont want to wast money at a trans shop if I don't have too. Thanks.
