another rare possibility is bent blades in the impeller of the torque converter, i doubt it though.
No way ... Stock stall way to tight even if you command a unlock you can hardly tell ...

This is light throttle; it's even worse under heavy acceleration. I think I'll be going to the dealership tomorrow.

Edit: I bought my car in PA. Can anyone recommend a service department in Long Island?
What is done to your car ?
