I think the best bet is to take it to the mechanic on that one. The 4L60E is not a very reliable transmission, and it sounds like you've got something going on internally with it that may require pulling it apart to pin point. Good luck!

Glad to hear you got it fixed up and that it really wasn't too major. Now you can take it out and enjoy the drive!
