is that when your trans goes to downshift, loses power, stays in 4th gear, won't allow you to go in reverse? cuz that happened this morning (again) and after a quick shut off/on it went in reverse... how bad is that?

Mine is doing the same thing all of a sudden, doing about 70mph then jump on it it will down shift and then sticks in 4th or 5th gear. GMC replaced the shift module the first time, found nothing the second time and now it is back in the shop. Please help what is the solution?

Does your check engine light come on when it does this?

they said P700 Transmission Control Unit

Who's "they"? The scanners they have at ricerzone usually can't pull the TCM codes, so the only one they's get is the P0700 that the TCM sent to the ECM. As everyone above said, sounds like you limped it; start saving :).

Seeing as you are in Vegas, I would make the journey to see Mike Lovrich at Inglewood Transmission in Fullerton,CA. I heard he is pretty good with these transmissions.

He will likely talk you into a suncoast IV kit with a Precision ML converter. This will include new clutches, shift kit, and a guaranteed smile on your face as you smoke the tires down the street in front of his shop when you leave!

mike, what exactly does the street look like in front of your shop? i always wondered if the roads around all the well known dmax tranny and engine shops were covered in posi burnout marks
