Transmission problems and advice.
Ive got about 95k on my 01 and the transmission is giving me problems. I was cruiseing along and it decided to randomly shift to second gear, and now it wont shift from second to third. Put a scanner on it and it pulled a code showing a problem with shifting from 2 to 3. I had it towed to the dealer a few hours ago, but dont think i want them ****ing with it. Does this sound like a bad transmission or something electrical. BTW, I did a filter change about a year ago (40k miles ago) and checked the fluid when I started having problems and it is fine.
If the tranny is bad what is my best course of action? New, rebuilt? I was kinda thinking rebuild it and get better parts put in it, but that brings up another question. What internal parts should I upgrade or replace with aftermarket to make the transmission more durable. Also, I know bully dog makes a shift kit that is suppose to improve the trans all around, is this worth it, and is it something that can be put on during a rebuild?

I just ordered a 4R100 from here.This guy builds the best trannies around.
He gives you a 2 year guaranty and dares you to break it.
Might be a little more then you want to spend but you can see on the site some of the upgraded parts you might need.

My 01 just had 2nd gear go out. The local guy here is going to rebuild it for me costing $2200. There is only 123k miles on it. He said a Jasper would cost me approx $2800 plus $600 core chg. He is going to put in heavier gears. I hope this helps some.
