When you had the tranny fluid flushed, did you have them do a tranny service? This means they remove the pan and replace the filter, flush it and then refill. They also clean out the bottom of the tranny pan where all the yuck settles. My GMC products also have a magnet charged filter in the bottom to attract and hold fine metal particulates.
The shift solenoids are inside the tranny, just pull the pan and the filter and you will have a 20 lb piece of metal with a million slots cut in it called the valve body, in it contains, 2 shift solenoids and one lock up thing and one other electric thing, I would have to peek in the book for that one. But you can access this easy enough, your tranny will drip for days while you work on it, and the solenoid might not fix the problem. But a filter and partial oil change will help. Check it out, hope this helps.
The shift solenoid is what changes the gears in a gm auto tranny. To change it you just need to drop the tranny pan and remove the filter. You'll see a plug with to wires attached to a plastic and metel piece. Remove the plug and the soleniod just pulls out. If you order the part first(about $25) you'll be able to recognize the old one when you drop the pan. You may as well just buy a filter kit while you at it(about $20). It comes with the filter and a new pan gasket which you will need anyway.
Well your clunking noise is most likely the u-joints the leaking pan is the tranny pan what you would have to do is get a tranny kit and change the pan gasket tranny filter and fluid or take to a shop and have a tranny service done.
Did you check the coupling between the drive shaft and the tranny for wear? (universal joint)
Have someone in the car and lay on ground nearby so you can see the universal joint when they put it in gear. DO NOT lay under car when they put it in gear!
Have you checked the transmission fluid level? Also, have you changed the transmission filter? I would definately do these two before I would take it to a shop. A typical transmission filter/gasket kit costs about $10-15 for that truck. And the transmission fluid will run around $2-4 per quart.
Changing the filter is easy. You will just take the transmission pan off and then pull the filter out, replace the filter, and then replace the pan gasket. Then bolt it all back up and fill it with fluid! It's that simple.
You will need to get the Tranny Shift Kit Inspected for Shifting Ball Slippage. Should not be a Big Repair unless it messed up the Clutches inside the Tranny.
when the last time you made a tranny oil change ? or also check the level of oil when all that is done youncan get more technical lets see could be the shift bushing ... easy to install and if its a tranny probleme well maybe time to get that corvette you always wanted go big or go home ahahah good luck
