The PCM reads load and speed through the Throttle Position Sensor and the Vehicle Speed Sensor and controls transmission shifts. As for the enlarged hole, I would think it would only make a very slight difference. Also on this old of a truck, try cleaning every ground connection you can find. Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I took the truck to Richards Transmissions for a complete diagnosis. Another $116 later I was told the tranny filter element had sucked up into a hole somewhere and was blocking the fluid. New filter and I've driven it several days now with no problems, thank goodness. I didn't want to have to pull this tranny again, and I'm sure Butch doesn't either.
