My 07 suburbo was taken in because of the same thing. Would use a lot more RPM to shift. Sprags were fucked and shared some metal with the whole trany.

Well the 4L60E shift points are completely at the mercy of the PCM I would top the fluid off however with th exception that its missing 2nd and going right to third you will need to get it on a scanner to tryand figure out whats going on. The trans has nn mind of its own

no if it would shift to 3rd then my rpm would go done like crazy its going down but it takes a long time to shift to 2nd like it would shift on overdrive at about 25 mph
