Still P0894 (transmission component slipping) after rebuild and a refurbished

I blew a tranny line on the highway about 4 months ago in my Chevy 2006 Silverado 5.3l.  I decided to have it rebuilt with a 3 year warranty.
 

After I got it back, it would drive fine then shift rough after I came down from highway speeds. When I turn off the truck and restart it, it shifts fine. After I get back up to higher speeds and come down, it acts up and shifts rough again.  Eventually it threw the P0894 code. The code is for transmission component slipping. I took it back and he said it was a sensor or something. Next day, hard shifting and code again. He said it must be something else with the tranny and fixed fixed that. (Sorry I don’t remember both of these repairs, but I can find out). Couple days later, same code and rough shifting. He replaced the tranny this time with a manufacturers refurbished. Next day, same code and same rough shifting after highway speeds, but in addition to this, a message appeared saying Transmission Hot. 
 

Thoughts? Haha. I’m lost and I think my transmission guy is as well at this point.

Be sure to post code description when posting codes, no one has them memorized.

The computer controls the timing of gear shift based on input from rpm, tps (desired speed), road speed, and current gear. The code is generated when road speed and rpm vary from each other when gear and tps are stable. If one of the sensors are going, then gear shifts would be off.

Use a scanner to monitor the sensors and see what is different than from normal.

As for heat, try pulling and connecting the wire harness.

As well, check that the transmission cooler lines are getting warm/hot.  If they aren't (after driving around for sometime), then the cooler is plugged.

Thank you. The transmission guy is sending it to a local dealer to get checked out on his dime.

Can u give us an update I'm having the issues. Thanks

...5 year old thread and laborde hasn't logged onto the site since then.  You aren't going to get a response from that user.

 

Take your vehicle in to a transmission shop and have them check it out.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.

      It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
