I got mine rebuilt at Lake Macquarie Auto Transmissions at Toronto. Mine cost me $3200 but I got a shift kit and billet servo ( 4th, already had 2nd )fitted at the same time. He told me if i broke it, was time to look at a T400 or 4L80E conversion.

Fellas, i would be looking at the Solinoids. Full set of replacement soleniods fromn the states is only $110 AU delivered....Shift Kit, with new valve body is $250......Parts are cheap, you just have to know how to rebuild em.....on

Sounds like you might need to have the 1 -> 2 shift solenoid replaced.
