Default Major transmission problem 6l80

This evening driving home the transmission started to act up. I stopped and shut it down. It started up fine but now I only have first and second gear.... And once it shifts to second it will abruptly downshift to first until I hold it for a minute. Does not have 345or6. Any help is appreciated thanks

It's possible it's an electronic issue. These 6L80's no longer use one way clutches, it's just a clutch to clutch system with the TCM controlling pretty much everything.

Do you still have a warranty??

Sorry to hi-jack, but you made 600/638 with heads/cam?


How is the transmission holding up to it?
