Default Tranny Shifting Issues!

Well, my truck was running good except for everyonce in a while it would bouce in 1st gear. I say bounce because i have no better way to explain it. While cruising at low speeds it would like shift out and then back into first until I was going fast enough to hit second. It only happend at low speeds and not all the time. So, I figured i would chang e the tranny Filter. I pulled the pan and drained the fluid. The next morn i put new filter on and new gasket and what not and filled the tranny back up. Now i am getting the CHeck Engine Light. It is spitting the P1757 Code. From searching this forum i can see that it is the governer solenoid in the tranny. Why would changing the Filter cause this to happen all of a sudden? Could it be something else? It is also not wanting to shift into third and not wanting to down shift. It also feels sluggish on take-offs almost like it is slipping.

I have been told this by the dealers that the trannys and CE light might not even come on for problems releated to it but will show a code, but not send the light. Some electrical issues. I would be changing that solinoid you could have problems soon.

if you change the solinoid change the GPS also.. (govenor pressure SENSOR)..

mine does somthing simular to yours.. at WOT it wont shift out of 2nd into 3rd, and bounces of 5200rpm.. i did a tranny flush and didnt fix it, adjusted the kickdown and it didnt fix it, replacing the solinoid and sensor is suppost to fix it.. i talked to the dealer and they said they sale alot of sensors and solinoids for the 46re.

the sensors and solinoids are about 50-90$ from the dealers.. but a place on ebay sales both of them for about 50+shipping... you might be able to save 20$

I totally spaced out and forgot to mention the main problem. I edited the original post with my main issues.

Okay, i must have broken something cause when i check my tranny fluid there are bubbles. I dont think there are supposed to be bubbles? Are there? The bubbles are only there when the truck is running of course.

No. It is well within its limits. I did add some tranny addiditive, but even with that should there be bubbles?
