I wanted to give an update on my transmission. I posted about it in the threads linked below. I am at nearly 1000 miles and still shifting great! NO codes! LS now has nearly 268k miles!!!
History:
Early 2019 Replaced solenoid -
Late Summer 2019 Full rebuild

TSB 04-12-3 - P1744
Anyone have a copy of TSB 04-12-3 for the P1744 code. It has to do with the solenoid pack and engaging the torque converter.

Transmission Issues
I just got P0732, P0735, and P0775 codes on my 04 LS Premium sport. I changed out the solenoid a few months back and everything seemed to be fine until two days ago. In May, I replaced the solenoid, filter and fluid and everything seemed to be fine. From what I have researched (here and on the...
