    another 47re converter locking up in drive and reverse sometimes ?

    ok i have did alot of reading about this problem.. and not sure whats up. its a 96 ram 2500 all stock, no mods. most of the time the tranny works great shifting od ect... then out of the blue it will want to die coming to a stop, i give it a little throttle then it is fine,,,,may not have any issues for awhile. sometimes at startup it will die when put into drive or rev, again i ride the brake to keep it from dying then its fine again...is there a way to tell if its the converter going bad? here what i have tried, when its acting up going to drive and reverse, i have pulled the trans relay and it will still do it... any advice would be great thanks.

    i put a master solenoid service kit in, no help. but now when you put it rev it will slowly lock up until it dies,,,,as if it was a manual with a clutch, that you put in gear and slowly let it out until the engine dies...but like before if i two foot it, and get it going it runs and shifts good even into od.
