06 Silverado transmission issue resets after popping into 4WD Sign In

I have an '06 silverado 1500 4WD with the 5.3 and roughly 78k on it. A bunch of codes popped up for the transmission. I am getting shift solenoid codes, clutch and torque converter codes. Im losing first gear and overdrive when these codes pop up or vice versa. The funny thing is when i put the truck in 4WD then back to 2WD the codes go away and the transmission shifts perfect. The ATF isnt burnt and has good color.
This leads me to beleive I have an electrical problem causing these codes and the shift solenoids to malfunction. Ive asked around and im stumping all the mechanics I ask. I have had trouble finding a good diagnostics guy. Anyone want to weigh in?

Well then maybe you should invest a couple hundred thousand in tools and equipment and spend another fortune in training classes and you won't have to be bent over any more.

Didnt mean to offend your delicate sensibilities. Everyone who ever provided you a service must be beyond reproach. Wasnt meant as a general critique on diagnostic guys either , just the few ive used. Maybe I should have rephrased. Thanks for your help.

That's not the way I read it. You came to the wrong place to insult diagnostic techs.

It was not my intention. I phrased that line poorly in a quick post. I don't think diagnostic techs screw people over as a general practice and i apologize that I gave that impression. My experience is that I have had trouble finding a competent guy i can trust.

I cannot find where i wrote them down. If memory serves it was reading clutch solenoid A, clutch solenoid B, torque converter and one other. I can get them when they pop back up.

each one of those components have multiple trouble codes that can come up for them. Hence the need for the exact numbers.
