<p>Well today was my lucky day. I came home with a clearer head and found that the transmission kick down switch was stuck in the energized position. A little penetrating oil freed it up and the car shifts beautifully again. Whew!</p>

<p>Oh, it was such a stressful day that I forgot to mention that I had made it about a half mile down the road when I realized there was a problem. I turned back and it seemed like it was quickly losing forward momentum but not noticeably slipping. Engine wasn't wound out but it was like we were dragging an anchor. </p>
<p>Failing torque converter perhaps? I did notice a slight vibration a few weeks ago but I thought it might be a driveline issue but it didn't happen again so I forgot about…</p>

<p>Oops, sorry 1964 Deville with Turbo Hydramatic.</p>
<p>The vacuum line is steel and the rubber connector was good although I replaced it just to be safe.</p>
<p>Fluid was checked at idle and operating temp.</p>
