This here woulda saved you a few bucks. It's what I have to resort to for almost all lines like this that have been in place forever.

I can't say if there is anything stopping you, but IMO it would be easier to take the TT out with it all. You can still leave the clutch as is and add a remote bleeder if you don't already have one...

I'm aware of all of this, but you're vastly over-glamorizing a fluid exchange and making it out to be the end-all-be-all fix when in reality it's just taking the lazy way out. The proper fix is a...

We really need to stop calling a fluid exchange the "Ranger" method. It's pretty useless in my experience if you're trying to solve a problem. OP is your return spring still intact?

I wonder if it's not just as simple as swapping in the system segment to a truck tune to get the fuel gauge, HID, etc to work properly? But for me it was plenty simple to just use the cax file and...

You say it's speed based, but also say that it goes away with the clutch in. Seems to me those 2 ought to be mutually exclusive. It's for sure not RPM based?

MAF is so much more consistent as it actually measures airflow instead of calculating it. GM did something weird with IAT that makes these swing wildly with temp changes. Try an open loop speed...

I'm incredibly suspicious that OP is encountering something similar to what I did. I HIGHLY recommend adding the thinnest shim you have and see if that induces preload. If it doesn't, keep going...

Reverse is super easy to do yourself if you're the type who can R&R the trans yourself. No crazy tools required and it's the first thing you encounter when you remove the tail housing.
