H3 hard jump into second gear

Post by thejudge »

I have an H3 Alpha, (5.3L V8) on the weekend I was stuck in traffic. Every time I went from first to second gear the truck would jump into second gear hard. The switch into second gear was so aggressive the whole truck would jump foward hard, you would feel yourself being thrown forward in your seat. Third gear felt a little jumpy but hard to tell, did not feel anything problem in fourth gear. No noise or problems while driving in any gear. Just the switch from first to second is hard. 
 
Truck in already in the shop, waiting to hear the news. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen or what your thoughts might be. I'm hoping its not going to be a new transmission.  :wtf:

UPDATE!!
 
it is in fact a transmission problem, error code shows problem with the High-low input/turbine sensor. Anyone know a good transmission guy that could help me out, in the GTA.

UPDATE!!
 
Finally got my hummer back yesterday. A few parts in the tranny had to be replaced because they were rusted. Apparently water got into the transmission, not sure how tho...
