I hate to hear that about your transmission. I had the same thing happen with a 700r4 and it made me sick. It was freshly rebuilt and supposed to be built strong, but it only lasted a few months. On the bright side, I swapped in a TH400 out of a CUCV 1 ton military truck and it’s been running strong for about 6 years now. I didn’t even have the 400 rebuilt. The fluid looked good and the truck appeared to have low miles, so I just said a little prayer and swapped it in my truck. Lol I miss the overdrive a little, but have much more confidence in it now. Especially when I’m pulling a trailer.
