Im having a similar issue with my Silverado and what l found so far is this:
1. Check your tcm fuse to make sure its still good.
2. Change shift solenoids.
3. Change speed shift sensor.
I've done all these but my ob2 sensor says my shift solenoid A is stuck on
Thats as far as I got. I hope this helps you out. Good luck

I was able to revive my Optimal AGM battery, but no codes came up. Maybe the TCM needs to circulate. I only did a visual on fuses and relays and check every the wire harness on top to bottom towards the tranny. I'm heading towards swapping out low and high packs. If anyone can point me towards an awesome sticky or a DYI video, I would appreciate it. Also. I don't have a tranny floor jack, I'm in Davis California 95618, I can sure use a loaner.
Thanks
Thanks

Im back. Been do a lot research on this tranny job. Anyone purchase a "500KGT Trans Adaptor", or used one in the past or has pos or neg feedback on the adaptor. Is it even strong and worth enough to handle the weight of a 4L60E and transfer case.
Do post up before I get started.
Thank you
