Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

You installed a transmission from Monster Transmission then filled with 12qts DEXVI?

Did you update the calibration in the PCM for the transmission? Yet another good use for the Tech 2.

It should..... And I emphasize should, not 100% positive.... But I think it should be okay shifting manually to the nearest transmission shop where they will probably empty your wallet $180 to update the calibration. I would call a transmission specialist first before driving.

If it was the 6L80 on the newer vehicles, you don't even want to start the engine before programming is done. Bad things happen.

as hummerz asked, did you fill the trans with the correct amount of fluid?
if so then check the linkage and make sure its in the correct position.
then have a conversation with Monster Trans about the issue your having.

this is the second transmission. They sent me the first one I got about a year. And I didn't update the calibration and it worked good for about a year. Then I send it back. Because according to them the two snap rings blew off the input drum caused by a part failure is what they said. It's a 4L65E

What size tires are you running on? Got any pics of your 2?
Here's a lifted '05 @ the DUB Show 2015 in Los Angeles.
