Well I had my fluid changed and the filter. Now it feels as if it is trying to take off from second gear. Even manually shifting it to first. I have not put a mile on it so I am pulling the pan and filter again to see if I can spot anything. Anyone got any ideas? 06 model awd with just under 50k miles. No codes
I am very distressed as it is the only vehicle for me and the wife at the moment. My truck is currently in surgery getting . . . you guessed it a transmission. An FLT level 5 4l80. I cant afford another trans.

 

What fluid did you put in it?

III or VI

 

I definitely feel your pain.

 

6 and found it. Something unplugged.

 

could you be more specific? someone else may stumble across this thread with the same problem and Something unplugged just won't cut it.

 

That's what I was gonna say, the pan can be a bitch and there is always the possibility of unplugging something. Glad you found it.

 

The plugs in the back of the valve body had been slightly unplugged getting the pan off. I would have took pictures of said plugs had I actually been the one working on it. I did slide under on a creeper to see them. Freaked me out. I just spent a crap load of $$$$$$ on a new flt level 5 4l80 for my truck including PI torque converter and core charge for the trans. I would have to park the TBSS that the wife drives and have no running vehicle.
I also have an 8 hour drive tomorrow to pick up a new puppie. A trip that has been scheduled and planned for a couple of months.

 

Probably one of the shift solenoid connectors got knocked off....

 

I read PI converter...was there any metal residue in the trans fluid?

 

The PI converter is in my truck with the new 4l80. The TBSS is Completely stock except for a kn filter
