2005 Tahoe shifting trouble
I have a 2005 Chevy Tahoe 2WD, with 200k miles.
A year ago it developed a transmission shudder at around 50 mph. A local shop wanted $500 to rebuild the torque converter.I read about Shudder Fixx, added it, and the shudder stopped and has been fine for a year.
Recently it has developed trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd. I can get the rpm's high and let off the gas and it will shift into 2nd. It shifts into 3rd just fine but never shifts to 4th gear. And it throws the P0752 code, solenoid "A" stuck on.
I took it back to the shop mentioned above. They charged me $200 to replace both shift solenoids, fluid and filter. They said fluid looked clean. But when they were done the problem was unchanged. The engine light was gone but reappeared the next day. They say it may be the "bands" and want $1000 to do a transmission "repair". They say if that doesn't fix it a $2000 transmission "rebuid" may be needed.
Anyone have any advice here? This is starting to add up to real money.

Welcome to the forum.
My son has a 2004 Tahoe and it had the same symptoms. At first they thought it was going to be the solenoids but when they dug into it, they found out they had a cracked case. He wound up putting a used tranny out of the salvage yard in it.
It seems like the shop that replaced the solenoids, fluid, and filter should give your money back since that didn't fix it.
