I'm having issues with my transmission and can't seem to figure it out. A little background on my car, it's a 10 SS A6 with an LS3 conversion and 3600 stall converter.

So about 2 weeks ago I was having an issue where I was changing from M to reverse and it was not going an the car would not move, it was like it was in Neutral. So this goes on for a bit, and it starts happening every time I drive the car.

I got the car towed to the shop where I had my work done, they checked something's and drove around , ended up checking the trans fluid it read fine , but was low , not sure why it was low haven't found a leak at all. So it starts to run fine for them and everything seems good , so I go down and pick the car up , drove home 120 miles , car ran great. So later that night I went to dinner and the car started having the problems again and now some new ones its taking along time to shift in D and M, the gear should shift and it just doesn't it just revs High then eventually shifts. It won't down shift at the right points either and some times not at all. Some times when I come to a stop it will also just stop all together and I'm not able to move at all . So I have to turn the car off and back on to get it to move again.

I'm beginning to think its a ECU issue but I'm not sure. If you guys have any idea let me know.

Thanks

Drop the pan and check fluid color, looks like the 3-5R clutch is burnt for sure...

Checked fluid color , nice and red, doesn't smell burnt either.

Protomanx8,

Sorry to hear about the vehicle concerns. I understand how frustrating situations like these can be. Is the vehicle currently at an independent shop or a GM dealer?

Right now it's sitting in front of my house. Haven't had a chance to bring it any where.
