I have a 2013 Tahoe LTZ with 147k miles. It started acting up and within 3 days it was undriveable... I had it towed to dealer and they said I needed a new transmission. I got a 2nd opinion and they said same thing.

Got the transmission rebuilt but it is not right. Shifting fine and smooth when cruising, but when I come to a stop it downshifts hard, RPMs fluctuate at idle. When I take foot off brake and push on accelerator, it takes a minute to kick in and then it slams into gear!

NO CODES...transmission shop is baffled... thinking it is something else?

Ok - I am taking it back in the morning and will mention that. I am starting to lose faith in their skill set. THANK YOU for the suggestion!
