I have an automatic '73 I6 250 Mav and when I start her up cold she doesn't seem to want to slip into second gear. First gear revs so hard it sounds like she's going to blow and finally after a few blocks, it pops into second and about gives me whiplash. The same happens for third gear. I have checked the fluid and there is plenty in there. Does anyone out there know what this might be? Thanks for any input.
