Losing .05 in 60' is a lot! Watch the playback again. My Autometer playback has been a huge help even without using it's driveshaft or download features.
You have a PM.

Do you have a trans temp gauge? My car would really slow down with to much trans temp.

I do not currently, but thinking about a gauge and cooler.

I had a customer that had a similar issue in late rounds and it turned out to be the sprag in the converter liked a certain temp to be consistent. he found it by changing his warm up procedure.

Ken,

A deeper tranny pan will also help , do you use a fan or sprayer to cool motor & trans between rounds ??? Good Luck..
