Mark k, I need you trans help...

I just got my trans back from being rebuilt. They added the Transgo Tugger for me.
I filled it up, (it took 15 quarts) ran it down the street and it wont shift out of first until I let of the throttle? If I floor it, it will redline and still not shift until I let up?
I have to bring it back to the shop monday morning, but i'd like to know what could have went wrong to see if the shop is going to B.S. me.
The DP tuner chip is removed for a reflash.
I got some codes, first two have come and gone for a while before the rebuild.
P0470-ebp sensor circuit malfunction
P0475-epr control valve malfunction
P0603- kam memory loss

both batteries were disconnected for 4 days, and the chip was removed durring that time.
Could that have caused the code0603. I cleared them all and it still wont shift????

I believe so...does that include the TC?
Trans shop told me there was a few quarts in the tc and it should take about 16 more quarts to fill her.
it took 15 and it was on the full hot line after my two test drives.
Do you think being a quart or two low it would keep it from shifting??
I told my trans guy it took 15 qts and he said it must be something else

I wonder why he didn't drain the TC when he rebuilt the trans? Oh well, if it showed full, you should be good on that part. I know it has to suck to get in on your truck and that happens. I do wish you luck.

I bought a new TC, he said they come full.
Thanks for your help Rick, I should have followed you to Brians...
Hope you and your wife are doing better.

Thanks Frank. We are doing fine, just waiting for that little storm to get here. I am glad I did go with the BTS, but your shop should get you running soon.

Sounds like the same symptoms as a mechanical diode failing but you don't have one of those. 4r100 trans problems? - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com

Hopefully Mark will chime in. Maybe the shop will pull and install for free if it has to come out again. Good luck and sorry to hear about your problems.

Maybe there TC comes with fluid, my 13 inch stallion from precision industries didn't must add 1.5 quarts before installing. Per instruction. Let us know what they find.

There's something wrong inside. There are so many places that something could go wrong that I don't even want to guess.

Do you have access to a scan tool that can read data? You could monitor and see if the PCM is commanding the shift or not.

No I dont have a scan tool...
I guess the shop will have to figure it out.
I do have a spare PCM, should I swap em out and see what happens?

I agree with mechanical issue inside the transmission.
