Yes, I was at a stop, hit the gas to go and as it went to shift to second, it missed and redlined! I am not an idiot, this has happened twice. I just got my Tahoe back today. They replaced the sprag clutch. The truck is amazing and I love it, but just worry about it happening again. I would not even trust a new tranny since it is common in these trucks.
 
What makes it so impossible (or doubtful) that that was the case? A transmission cannot break while shifting?? Educate me...

Last year they replaced the sprag on my 07 Tahoe and I have not had a tranny problem since. You should feel confident that the issue is resolved.

I was suggesting no such thing. I merely conveyed that I had a somewhat similar experience.

Thanks, we have a house at the beach and I was concerned about the reliability of my Tahoe this summer. I am glad to hear that replacing the sprag is a solution!

Sorry, I must have misunderstood your reply, I was very frustrated at that time! It is tough when you buy a brand new vehicle and have problems with it!

i have a 2000 chevy tahoe limited and i have a hard time putting it in gear. (taking it out of park) On my other chevy trucks i step on the brake and shift but this truck is tough. I have to barely step on the brake to get it out. If i step on it a little too mush it wont come out of park. Also, my brake lights are delayed, they dont turn on right away when i step on the brake. Its almost as if they turn on whenever they want. NEED ADVICE

sounds like your brake switch is failing. which is also the shift interlock i would suggest replacing the brake switch on the pedal and see if it doesnt resolve your problem

oh you should be able to do it yourself its right on the brake pedal under the dash...but do yourself a favor and spend a couple extra bucks and specify oem replacement if you cant get it at autoparts store go to the dealership for it.shouldn't take more than about 15-20 minutes
