My question is what is everyones best estimate on what this is going to cost me to have fixed? I love my Suburban. This is the first major issue I have ever had with it. It has 120K on it.

Does it seem to shift weirdly in forward, as if it's missing 2nd and going straight to 3rd from first? Does it shift into overdrive, or does it race like it's in neutral?
My guess is a failed part called a 'reaction sun shell' - these tend to fail without warning and when they do, you lose reverse, 2nd and OD. This would be transmission rebuild time. Generally, no less than $1500 in a shop. Below is a picture of a failed reaction sun shell component - this should be a one piece deal, not two as in the picture. This one was from my own transmission a year ago, and depicts a common fatigue failure at the hub (the ring shaped thing).
