96 civic trans problem

Hi all

Im hoping someone else has had this problem and lead me in the right direction.i have a 96 civc automatic What happens is the thing will go into all gears and run and shift good for about 5 minutes then it just like its in neutral.until you turn off the car and wait for 30 -45 seconds ,restart car and it will go in gear again for a few minutes .then repeat it all over again.

I have rebuilt the a4ra trans, put in new clutches and steels and all seals ,and put in a re-manufactured torque convertor ,cleaned all the valve bodys untill the valves would drop on thier own without getting hung up ,replaced a cpc broken spring .checked all solenoids.

I have pulled it out and disassembled for a 2nd time now. What happens is the thing will go into all gears and run and shift good for about 5 minutes then it just like its in neutral.until you turn off the car and wait for 30 -45 seconds ,restart car and it will go in gear again for a few minutes .

I hooked up a gauge to the line pressure port its 125-130 and steady until the few minutes then it drops to between 20-40 lbs ,you can shut the thing off for 30-45 seconds and restart and the pressure will return to normal and go in gears again for another few minutes do you think it is a sticky valve ? ,i read the pump gears with a feeler gauge and they are within specs , thanks huge in advance.
