Unhappy terrible tranny problems

well hi guys. the names chris, ive been a reader of this forum for quite some time but never really post cuz i only own a beast of a car... 95 grand prix gtp kinda feel out of place posting since i dont currently own an f-body but someday, someday soon i promise. well id appreciate any help in this matter cuz as soon as i can get my tranny fixed, i can sell it and get any car i want... i think i should be able to find a decent lt1 for my price range ($6-8k), but anyway... onto the problem...

the transmission has been slipping, but only around fast left turns. it also slips out of gear if i have to stomp on the breaks really hard to stop short, and when i take my foot off of the break and resume acceleration, vroom and vroom but i just sit there. and after a few seconds it violently kicks back into gear. i can go around a right turn as fast as i want and no slipping, but take a left turn around at a normal speed, and out of gear it goes. i have to barely give it any gas to keep it in gear around left turns. the shifts are also really hard above like 3k, like it violently shifts! oh yeah, and when i start the car and just drive, not real warmed up, the transmission works in tip top shape for the first 60 or so seconds. it shifts like a brand new car, and it just wont slip around a left turn regardless of speed. a minute later, its crap im only 18 and cant afford a new tranny. i see how knowledgable you guys are and didnt want to just come in here asking for help since im not a regular, but after months of slipping, id figure id ask you guys. well ill keep this short, or umm... well, ill end it here lol. thanks again guys!

Heck it sounds like your low on tranny fluid and starving the trans on the high gee manouvers.
