Default Tranny help pleeeeease!!!!!!!

I Have a serious problem....... i'm hoping not but i dont know... I have had my traction control/stability control service lights on in my 2006 GP GXP (93xxx) tonight as i took off from a stop light she didnt seem right like the tires were spinning. As i pulled into a parking lot and went to use the gas pedal it seemed to be in N it would not go in D as i put it into manual mode it would move. I drove it back onto the road and while in 1st it seemed to slip as i went through the gears it would go. While in D it wont move an inch yet in manual it goes. While driving down the highway it will operate in D ok havent tried to get on it to see if it would slip i was too scared to tear something up....the fluid level was good and was just changed in a filter change about 3xxx back........... PLEASE HELP ME ANYBODY/EVERYBODY

THANKS A MILLION 1BADGXP (1sadgxp)

I have not personally saw this, but I have read before that this is a common sign of your torque converter going out. The only thing that confuses me is usually the computer will put the car in a max line pressure state because of the slippage and shifts will become very harsh.

The traction controller and stability lights are usually a sign of a bad wheel speed sensor, but I guess if the transmission is spinning and the wheels are not it could throw that code I suppose.

I would have the pan pulled again and check for torque converter debris.

I am sure there are way more experiences transmission gurus that could help you more than me. I had mine rebuit already, but mine would slip and shutter at speeds over 50mph (when torque converter would try to lock up). My tranny was filled with converter matter.

Well i had it looked at by a shop and they told me that i more than most likely have a busted drum and a sprag issue the way it acts....sooooo back to the drawing board. I have to figure out a way to get it fixed on a very extremely tight limited budget....... thanks for ur input

Sounds like a combination of things, but mostly like the seals in the forward drum are shot.
You need a rebuild.
