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.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
