We replaced the transmission this past august. It drove fine till about a month ago when it stopped shifting past 2nd gear , occassionally into 3rd but not 4th. It will drive ok in 2nd gear. Have had several suggestions that it could be shid solenoid, but which one/ones and where are they located on the transmission? We appreciate any help you can offer. Pictures of locations a plus if possible

SOURCE: Transmission wont shift into 3rd gear.
I had this exact problem on my 2005 5.3L Suburban... It would shift into 1 and 2 and reverse, but not 3 and 4.
I took it into a transmission shop, and he said the 3-4 shift solenoid was burned up. Wanted 1500 to fix it. Far from home, so I have to pay it.

Sounds like an issue when fluid gets hot, I'd start with a filter/fluid change.
I personally shy away from tranny additives, use only as a last resort to get a vehicle drivable to trade in (on a cash for clunkers program. (((SMILE))). )

Look for vacuum leaks. There are tons of hoses, replace dried and cracked ones....
The trans shift issue that you describe seems that the trans is being told to hold back the shift, there is a unit at the end of the vacuum tube, AT the trans, called a modulator. They have a rubber diaphram inside that fails and then trans fluid gets sucked into the engine, via this vac. hose. Pull it off and see if any trans fluid comes out...Should be ZERO.
Also, your vehicle must have regular trans service, especially you must change the FILTER. Disk material eventually clogs the filter, then trans fails really fast.
You may consider having a quick lube shop do the trans service, they use a machine that pumps new fluid in while unit is running, totally flushing converter, cooler,and lines...but DO replace the filter.
To be fair, the service suggestion has nothing to do with yoru complaint, necessarily...
