For the Chevy Silverado, a helpful video on resetting the transmission control module can be found at: https://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=yu6WDIWBf3g It's crucial to replace the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to avoid costly issues. Listen out for unusual sounds from the transmission, indicating the need for a fluid change. If the torque converter is worn out, it can lead to headaches. The transmission is a vital component of the vehicle and will eventually encounter problems like hard shifts, shudders, stuck gears, and jerking. Any leaks in the transmission fluid should be promptly repaired to prevent delayed shifts and potential slipping.
How can you reset the Transmission Control Module (TCM) on a 2011 Chevy Silverado?
I own a 1993 Silverado k1500 with a 4l60e transmission that I purchased about a year ago. It is a rebuilt transmission. Recently, it stopped shifting correctly on the same day my air conditioner compressor failed. Now, it's stuck in 2nd gear. I thought it might be the shift solenoids causing the issue, so I replaced them, but the shifting problem persists. Do you have any suggestions on what else I should try to fix this problem?
I've got a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a 3/4 ton 2008 model and a 6.0-liter engine. When I put it into drive to move forward, it doesn't shift up to the next gear. Do you know what might be causing this issue?
I drive a 1995 Chevy Silverado with a V8 engine and a 4L60E transmission. I recently had to swap out my old transmission with a used one I found at a junkyard. The issue I'm facing is that when I shift into first gear and then try to accelerate into second, the truck bogs down and almost comes to a stop. What do you think is causing this problem?
I own a 2001 Silverado truck. In order to reset the TCM (Transmission Control Module), I need to follow these steps: Turn the key to the on position, press the gas pedal all the way to the floor for 10 seconds, turn the key off, release the gas pedal, and wait for about 5 minutes before restarting the engine.

I own a 1999 Chevy 1500 truck that I recently repaired the transmission on. However, now when I shift to drive, it feels like it starts off in a higher gear.

In my 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid 6.0L 4X4, there's an issue with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) throwing DTC U0101 for not communicating. When I checked the driver's side of the transmission, I noticed a box in the expected location with six pipes at the rear and a small electrical plug. This setup seems unusual and I'm unsure if this is the TCM. I'm looking for guidance on locating the TCM so I can pull it out and have it checked properly.
Please inspect the wiring harness for the ignition switch located beneath the steering wheel. This harness is responsible for transmitting a specific voltage to the transmission, and resolving any issues with shifting.

Can anyone advise me on whether it's a problem with the module or something else?
Question: My 1992 GMC Sierra 2500 with a diesel engine is having trouble shifting into 3rd gear. Is there a straightforward solution to this issue?

I'm not sure what's wrong, but I have a '98 Chevy with a 4L80 transmission. When I reverse, it seems to be in second gear, but I can shift down to first.

I own a 1995 Chevy K3500 with a 454 engine and a 4L80 transmission. While I was driving at 65 mph and attempted to accelerate, the transmission stayed in 2nd gear and wouldn't shift.
