What size rear tire and rim, radials or bias? You may have the tires slipping on the rims.

When I first got my GT Olds running, I had a similar issue. I replaced the transmission, PG, twice before I found out my radials, 9x30, were slipping on the wheels. I ended up having to pin the tires.

My tire shop used the normal liquid when they mounted the tires. They would actually slip on the rims for a split second or so.

Something else to check.
