Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I replaced the filter and fluid it worked good for about 8 miles then stopped pulling again, I shut the engine down then restarted the engine and the transmission just pulled enough to get me into a parking lot the van only has 63529 miles on it, it stays parked most of the time

Yes i checked the fluid level again after it stopped pulling but it was in park not in neutral, before I changed the filter and fluid it worked good for about 50 miles then just stopped pulling you could shut off the engine and restart it and it would pull a little, that's when I changed the filter. I've done some research and found that it could be a Governor Pressure Solenoid & Sensor or a problem with the wiring

Thanks Asktrannyman, I borrowed it from someone else to take some people over to the county next to mine for a funeral it's a 15 passenger van, the man that owns it said it stays parked most of the time it only has 63598 miles on it, it was working good, then all of a sudden it stopped pulling.

I drove it about 50 miles before it laid down, then I changed the filter and fluid, I stopped by where I left it a little while ago and rechecked the fluid level in neutral transmission was cold and the level was right at the bottom of the XXXXXXX where it says ok, so if the trans was at normal temp it should have been inside the XXXXXXX's, it acted like it would pull I shifted from park to reverse to drive and back a few time and every time it would go in each gear but as the trans warmed up it stopped engaging and would not pull
