Hey David, thanks for the reply. I read the thread, I like the thoughts of being able to fix this without removing the tranny haha. I have a shop I'll have to go to tomorrow for level ground to drop the rear of the tranny.

Further info for troubleshooting:
This morning during my drive to work was ~63 degrees. The car drove like a dream. Even floored it from 50-100 trying to create symptoms and couldn't get anything.
At lunch it was about 80. Car had the surging idle but drove and shifted fine.
Coming home temp was the same, car was still surging but driving fine. Once i floored it and hit the kickdown switch the trans started to act up.

I'm leaning (maybe hoping) towards a combination of several small problems.
