Reading heat is the #1 Killer of transmissions, I eliminated the #1 Killer

Let'* get back to the topic and try ot solve this problem.
So heat is not an issue. And it continued to act funky today. But only if you shift in and out of D/OD or the other way around.
The electronics I believe are mostly internal and are a pain to get at, but I'm not positive. I know the TCC soleniod which I don't think is your problem is a $30 part but hours and hours of labor to put in.
I assume you didn't put the tranny cooler on recently and you've checked fluid level... I'm out of ideas, but one of the vets will jump in with some fresh ideas.

, I can tell you one thing though, heat wasn't the culprit Man if you were my neighbor, there would be a scantool sitting here for you, along with a PCM and EPROM for testing.... Multimeter...bla bla bla...
I'm interested to see what the PCM is telling the trans to do and what the trans is doing.. Could be a bad solenoid, bad range switch, bad wire, bad ground, or even the PCM not being happy... Hard to say with all of the electronics these days... With all of the miles on that trans anything is possible... Good Luck Man
Oh, Nice to see you again

Also want to mention that I was told that this is not the orig. trans. So theres not 185,000 miles on this one.
