I know for a fact that its no form of limp mode, or anything to do with the tranny computer because i have a stand alone shiftbox the bypasses the tranny computer completley.
what it is doing right now is that when it comes to a stop it lurches and jumps then dead stop, getting going takes forever in first, and at times when powering through the gears it will slip. my plans are to get a tranny and TC i know will work then i will rebuilt the one thats broken with an ipt rebuild

Or if it's slipping when going into overdrive it could be the clutch packs for the overdrive.
Either way, it might not be a whole tranny that you need. The computer can be sent to Kearney Auto (I think that's the name) in Austin, MN and they'll rebuild it for you for about $175 or so. This is a separate computer from the engine computer.
Might be a few things to look into before swapping out a whole nother tranny.
