yea mine wasn't submerged that bad. It just happened that either something was splashing around and kicked in water above the tranny and the breather tube (hole, since i don't think there was a breather tube) sucked in water while i was trying to put it in reverse.

I too just wanted to do a few flushed and replace the tranny fluid however, once that pepto bismol pink looking creamy stuff gets in the transmission, it starts seeping in the seals and internals. It will never run the same.

Or it could be your cat, cause i had to fix mine as well. if you want to can go that route and see if your cat is clogged.

no iwasnt that deep. my driverside was deep enough that water was coming in my cab. i kept my truck running when i was stuck if that gives u a idea. i drove it 2day n it drove good, shifted good. just that OD gear with the different rpms now.
Yea i was able to drive mine home with only it sounding like it had a cold (water in the cat)

not the cat, i have just pipe. when i was stuck, i kept my truck running so water wouldnt get in the exhaust. it hasnt ran right since i got it stuck... i think my breather tube is not there n thats how it got in. when i was driving it earlier 2day, it didnt want to shift till 21/2-3 rpms. i think im gonna have 2 replace it...

Try driving at 55, see where your RPMs are at, and LIGHTLY step on the brake. See if RPM jumps a bit. (I bet it doesn't. )
^+1. TCC is a 300 rpm drop. OD is about 500.
i don't know much about them, but i'd guess ther is an electric TCC solenoid that's not working.
