You have the 5HP19 tranny which has a common failure part.

:confused:reverse gear working fine, only when lite come back..shifts very hard.

If you arent having any symptoms of a reverse drum failure then I would check the fluid level.

If that does not fix it, change the fluid.

Finally you will need to take it to a shop where they will either find an electrical issue or suggest you have the tranny rebuilt.

checked the oil level..O.K.

dealer replaced crankshaft sensor....now drives fine......where is my idea off extended warranty????? should listen my father..:(

I would not have expected those symptoms to be the crankshaft position sensor.

Im glad you got it fixed.

it is strange.....but now drives fine for second day... my guts telling me it is not over yet.......
