Check fluid level, color, smell.

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
