Default Possible trans problem...?

Well here is another trans post to throw in and scratch your head at Lately i've been noticing a slight lack of power or trans slippage in my 45RFE happening when at operating temp. However when cold the power is right there and the shifts are firm. Almost feels like the converter is missing the turbine and stator all together lol Just seems like the power isnt getting to the ground once shes up to operating temp. Fluid level is good, relatively fresh. I cant think of anything in a 45RFE that would be directly affected from a regular heat cylce...
Ideas?

Thanks,

Nope, no problems with the converter in the past. The transmisson deffinately has a few miles on it lol and will probably get pulled within the next year. Just trying to pin point weather this is more of a electronic/shift solenoid issue or that famous chrysler built converter
I deal with transmission parts all day long but have little knowledge on how to troubleshoot an auto.

Could be a pump problem. Sounds more like a mechanical problem than an electronic problem.
