07 Yukon transmission shifting issue

bigchaseusmc said:

I have an 07 Yukon 4wd just recently the transmission is not shifting right. Every thing was fine parked it over night and when I got in to go to work in the morning. It wasn't shifting right. It seems like it's not shifting out of 1st gear. Under light acceleration if I let up on the gas it shifts. I had CEL but it was for an evap leak minor. So I disconnected the battery and left it for a couple of hours while I was working. Shifts better but still not like it should. Seems like it's not shifting into overdrive. It's served me all 250kish miles on it. I've had it since 60k. Fluid is full and definitely needs a fluid and filter change. Would it be worth changing the shift solenoids while I'm in the pan? Any help would be appreciated

big maybe.....
one thing that can affect shifting is the MAF, clogged cat's
if you have no suspects there then it's probably wise to drop the pan and inspect for metal or other material.
if it looks clean, you might be able to get away with just solenoids and a flush. the solenoids can be tested while you have the pan off

I'm not sure if it is the right way to post a question but today my 05 Tahoe stock wouldn't go into gear when this selector was in overdrive it was just revving up I took it down to 3rd and it just worked fine after it warmed up it would go back into overdrive just fine .it also did this like 2 years ago.. isnt that weird?

You should start a separate thread vs posting in someone else's so that you can get full attention on your issue vs competing with the OP.

If you typing "Overdrive" is meant to convey placement of the shifter into Drive (i.e not Drive3) then I might check your filter to see if it's clogged. Drop the pan, have a look see then cut the filter open...If it's all gummed up, that's likely the problem - just replace it, fill the pan back up with 5-6 quarts of fresh fluid and off you go...If you see a whole bunch of black clutch material and the fluid is black/sticks, put the pan back on with a few bolts then yank it out for overhaul.
