    6L80E Stuck in 2nd gear until I clear CEL Codes. Stays in 2nd again when I stop

    Hi All,

    I installed a built 6L80E into a 2008 Pontiac G8. The car wasn't running for 5 years, so idk if that could be causing this, but just want to put it out there.

    Whenever I drive and log a scan, it shows the transmission is stuck in 2nd gear (I put it into Drive, automatically goes to 2nd and stays there). I did notice that when I clear the CEL codes, it begins to shift, until I come to a stop, it drops down to 2nd and stays there.

    These are the only codes that HPTuners scanner shows:
    U0100 (Pending, Current, Permanent) - Lost Commnication with ECM/PCM A
    C0460 (SES, Pending)
    C0045 - Brake Pressure Sensor B (even though the internet says this is left rear wheel speed sensor)
    C0050 (SES, Pending)

    highly likely you have the wrong os in the tcm.

    does the car have the original tech still?
