I agree and in fact would suggest taking it to a dealer than can do one of those power flushes. Its an active flush that pushes new fluid throughout the auto chambers rather than a passive flush where you just drain the pan. Yeah, assuming its an automatic. But if its sat that long, I would flush all fluids and change before serious driving. Especially check those break caliprs for leaks. Sounds like it should be in great shape tho.

If it was me, I would try running some Seafoam transmission flush in the car for about 1/2 hour before the actual transmission change-Change the trans fluid, filter and drain the torque converter. I would then run seafoam again in the fresh fluid for about 100 miles and change all the fluid and filter again and you should be good to go. Just my 2 cents!

I have seen and heard of this happening before, a fluid and filter change like the rest said should fix it up! Once the fluid is changed take a long drive with it if the car is drivable. It should be good then.
