I have purchase 3 chevys from the same dealership (Criswell's) I can only hope they will help with the payment, or I can tell you I will never purchase a chevy again. I only have 70k miles.

Unless you have software/scanner that can read drivetrain GM secret codes you will not have access to these failure codes. you most likely have software that only reads engine codes.
much of the codes that could be read are GM secret codes and require $2-3,ooo to get GM to allow you to read them. larger repair shops have to pay every year to get these secret code readers/software.
A transmission repair shop must have these readers to properly diagnose vehicles along with the pressure readings.
the cost to properly repair this along with the warrantee should be around 1500-1800 including the follow up checks.
replacing the fluid several thousand miles after a repair is quite common. keep the fluid condition correct.
