Other side effects include difficulty shifting at high RPMs, difficulty engaging 1st and Reverse while stopped, shortened clutch life and shortened transmission life. We've been seeing this exact issue for years in many applications.

Old LS1 F-bodies had a similar problem to this. We would drill out the hydraulic lines a bit for better flow. Worked everytime.
