700R4 is driving me CRAZY

I'm seriously starting to get pissed...

Anyhoo - It seems that NO gear is appropriate at any speed from 30-50mph.

Its hard to explain but my tranny(700R4) feels wierd at 30-50mph...

I am experiencing "surging" when just cruising - Its GOT to be coming from the tranny as the engine idles/runs just fine. If I leave it in 2nd gear, the car doesn't surge, but it is still too high in the rpms for my liking at that speed... 3rd/D also doesn't seem to want to work right... Thats when I really feel the surging...

Maybe I'm not being specific enough... let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need more info.

Thanks

Could be the torque converter clutch cycling?

My "English" isn't THAT good! Especially when talking about an automatic tranny... Can you elaborate?

It may be your torque converter locking and unlocking at those speeds. It really is a PITA , so much so that I hooked mine up to only lock up in 4th.
