Not a PCM problem.

It's an internal transmission problem. Sounds to me like you experienced a 1-3 shift in your first post. That usually means a broken intermediate sprag....but they usually break and never work again. You won't find pieces in the pan from that failure.....unless you drive it for a few miles after the breakage.

I put about 50 miles on it before I dropped the pan. I also still have 2nd gear. The tranny holds in first, let up on pedal and it locks into 2nd. Shifts to 3rd and 4th are like butter. I guess I just have a hard time believing my tranny is trashed after a couple of weeks of driving after the chip was put in, I never even made any WOT runs with it. Guess its time for a rebuild. If I go with a BTS or something similar, do I then have to upgrade my FU chip to the FU2 or custom tunes?

These transmissions are like glass behind a stock engine. Some live, some don't.

my transmission had the same symptoms... i changed the fluid and filter and drove like that for a year and half before the forward clutch burnt up.

How is it doing these days?
