They were a little oxydized so I cleaned them out and now it shifts just fine and is back to normal, so I looked at the tranny i replaced and it is still good, just a dirty connector.
My two cents.
my ABS and TCS and check engine light are still on though and I have no speedometer still but the tranny still shifts good in drive at least.
BTW I have went through school for automotive repair and received a degree but no longer work on cars for a living, so I pretty much know what im doing, just dont always know the problem lolz.
but anyway i hope this helps someone, dont forget dielectric grease on all connectors!

Could you please explain where and how I should look for these connectors on the transmission? I had this problem today, the PRNDL lights all on but randomly changing, winter 3rd gear start contantly on, can't shift past 3rd gear...etc. I unplugged the number-5 fuse from the panel (TCM fuse) and it now shift fine, but the PRNDL lights are still going nuts.
Where can I find the connectors that might be oxidized and need to be cleaned?
Thanks!
