I noticed that the "off" light on the gear shift was blinking. It has gotta be something electrical. Any ideas?

Your tranny is in "limp home" mode. Thats why its shifting funky. ie; higher RPM's and not going into 3rd or OD. Make sure you have everything hooked back up electrically from your very first tranny R&R job. The plug on the top of the tranny screwed with me when I put mine back together. Basically what happened was there was no communication between the PCM and the tranny so the PCM said it didnt want to play with the tranny anymore. One good tug on the plug to seat it corrected my problems. I hope yours is as easy.-popcorn

I never messed with any electrical connections.

Took it to the shop today. Guys hooked the scanner and it did not dump a code. They went through testing the VSS and Solenoids, and everything checked out. They are going to check into it some more and let me know. I'll keep you guys informed.

Please do keep us informed, I've never heard of a blinking OD light that didnt leave a code set in the PCM before?

I stopped by to check on my baby today, and they showed my two broken clutch plates. They also told me there were some stuck/broken vlaves. This repair is gonna cost me around 1k. Couldnt have some at a worst time...

$837.59 total cost of rebuild and new tc.
They put the sonnax kit in and with the other 2 springs they put in. Man it shifts better then my father in laws brand new truck. And that vibration that I thought was the ujoints again is GONE. It runs GREAT. thanks to all for putting up with me while I got through this.

That's Excellent news you're back on the road,sure the rebuild did cost but you're back!

The transmission in our 02 changed night and day after the kit went in as well
