2003 H2 Tranny Hard Shifting

[BUNNY15]

Believe it or not, my tranny just went out on mine Saturday while driving to Austin. I was 100 miles away from the house when I decided to accelerate past a slower moving vehicle on the frwy. As I attempted to pass, the rpms just shot up, but the H2 didn't move any faster.

I pulled of to the side of the road to t=check the tranny fluid which "supposedly" had just been checked the Monday before at the shop and said it was full. I didn't look myself prior to hitting the road, which I should have, but nonetheless the fluid was below the lower marker on the stick. I had some tranny fluid in the car, so I added some. I let the tranny cool down for a bit before starting down the road again, and the same thing happened. 1st gear was ok, 2nd gear, was ok, but no 3rd!! RPMS skyrocketed again.

Pulled over a second time thinking it needed to cool a bit longer. While I waited, I did some internet research only to read the possibilities of what I already knew. About 20 minutes passed and I started down the road again, but now the "check engine" light was on. This time I noticed it didn't take off in DRIVE as easy as it had before. 1st gear ok, but now no 2nd...I'm like WTH because now I'm in the middle of nowhere (Troy, TX) and now I can hear the tranny whining which it wasn't doing before.

Pull over a 3rd time, now DRIVE is pretty much gone, and absolutely no REVERSE. I call a wrecker, wait 2 hours watching the in-dash DVD (money well spent), and $350 later, the wrecker drops me off at home and takes the Hummer to the shop.

$1300 complete rebuild, 3year or 36k warranty...should pick it up Friday (hopefully)
