The converter unlocking,,,or is it falling out of OD,,,,either usually mechanically means friction material is failing,,,,not to say that it could be a problem with electrical issues...replacing fluid and filter will not change the issues unless it is related to a plugged filter,,,the good is you get to see whats in the pan !!!! lotsa glop in the pan,,,going to need some repairs,,,,clean,,,,check/clean / replace LU solenoid,,,other electrical issues......My main issue is that R&Ring the fluid and filter will not hurt trans,,,if it's shot,,,it's shot...most do not service the trans,,and are shocked to find it taking a dump!!!! The warning signs of failure are not real noticable,,,untill it is usually too late...friction materials are very durable,,but over time from shift cycles,,running low on fluid,,,heavy gas pedal,,,do wear out......gbaum
