Unhappy Tranny probelms for the past 4 months PLEASE HELP

So i have been having this tranny problem for the past 4 months and every time i think its fixed its weers its ugly face. The problem is the tranny will not responded to the throttle. I have no vibrations coming from it no codes and have replaced every other sensor that go's to it. I have also cleaned the batteries cables and connectors as well. I know there are a bunch of people out thee that have had this same problem. anybody have any ideas what i should do next besides fire bomb the truck and collect insurance?

What do you mean it won't respond to the throttle?

When i drive sometimes the rpms will go up but its as if the tranny is not in gear. It feels likes its hunting for a gear to be in. It comes and go's, i drove it all day today and had no problems. but who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Sounds like something is up with the electronics, which I know isn't much help. Is it just 4th gear, or is it random gears?

Its only in 4th gear. last night it happened when i went over a bump. Do you think a vibration in the drive shaft can cause this problem? I have a slight vibration i think from a non balanced drive shaft or not installed correct. Right now I'll take any advice any help on this matter.

I'm not sure if a vibration would do it, but hitting a bump triggering it makes me think of a loose ground or an internal short or something.

ehh, off the top of my head?? Had you had any engine/tranny work done prior to it acting up? There shouldn't be too many, one on the driver's side by the bell housing for sure. Actually, dropping the trans I don't remember taking any grounds off.
