Default Help TC lockup problems?

I have the FLT level 5 with a Yank TT3000 TC and I have noticed that my TC has trouble locking up when I put it in drive from a dead stop, doesnt matter if its hot or cold and seems to be getting progressively worse. When I put it in drive the rpms will just go up and I go no where as I give it some gas, than it will jerk into gear all of a sudden. I also notice that while cruising when I let out of the gas and let it coast the rpms will drop all the way down to idle as im cruising about 50mph, than when I give it gas again slowly the rpms will go back up to around 3000 before I feel it grab. Today when pulling out from a stop just after I put it in drive it was slowly moving as the rpms were getting up into the 4000 + range. I had to stop, put it back in park, put it back in drive, than it grabbed and was fine. I got a the following codes a few weeks ago, but they have not came back since...
p0740 - TC clutch malfunction
p0785 - shift timing solenoid malfuntion
p1860 - TCC PWM solenoid circuit

Does any one have any ideas or ways of trouble shooting if its a solenoid, or TC or both.

Any one experienced this before? I dont believe that this is tuning related because it ran fine on the tune for the past 2 months. There are no noises or shuttering, or vibrations assoiciated with the aforementioned. I have had this setup for almost 6 months.

Sounds like a weak or worn transmission pump, plugged filter or even a cracked and leaking filter housing can do this, as can a torn or missplaced transmission gasket.
make shure you check the fluid level

thanks, Ill take it in and haveem change out the fluid and filter. How hard is the pump to replace, does the tranny gotta be dropped? Is there a way they should know it is the pump like hooking it up to something and checking the line pressure?
