Re: Any 6l80 experts around?

Okay, I have yet another transmission issue. When driving, the transmission feels like it is 'binding' up. I have to give it more and more fuel just to keep a steady speed on flat ground. It has happened twice so far- I had a bad experience of it today- so much so that I had to pull over and didn't need to brake to a stop. When I tried to go, forward or reverse, it felt like the parking brake was on (it wasn't). I shut off the truck, unplugged the connector at the back of the transmission and plugged it back in. Started and drove just fine.

Most of my trips are short, say less than 20 miles one way, as I get the bugs worked out and get a feel for how it drives. It seems that the longer drives are what causes the 'binding'.

Fluid (dex synthetic) is full and does not smell burnt, but it is new (600~ miles) so I guess it shouldn't. No CEL at anytime, any thoughts?

I know a bad tune be the cause of this, but could there be something mechanical that would not throw a CEL?
