ZL1 issue with A10 transmission

hi guys. today something's gone wrong with my Camaro. It seems to be problem with A10 transmission. When driving normally and running from green light (all on Tour drive mode), car started jerking and check light turn on. I immadiately stopped the car and parked. I have read below errors:
P0700 Transmission Control System (will show up as PCM code, but is all TCM Related)
P0777 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Stuck On

At next step I erased the errors. After that I took car for little drive on parking and all was looking good until transmission starting downshifts gears 3->2, 2->1 and on both rev was jerk and check light turn on again with same errors.

Any ideas what happened ?

Dont mean to be flippant, but the simple answer is your A10 trans may be broken and will probably need to be replaced--maybe they do modular repairs and replace the solenoid unit only (do they call this a valve body?). This is one of the most complex transmissions in the word, if not the most complex. When you get solenoid malfunction codes, you have a serious problem that may get worse.

Did you modify your ZL1 by tuning the ECU, ie. something that will void the warranty?

If not, then you're covered under warranty and should be fine. Don't clear the codes, take it to the dealer.

If you did void warranty, this could be a costly repair

If the car is stock, the cause is probably something as simple as a manufacturing defect in a solenoid or other part(s) of the electro-hydraulic components that activate the transmission's gear shifting mechanism. Could also be an internal sensor malfunction. Too many possibilities, this thing has 10 freaking gears, handles 550+ WTQ, shifts in milliseconds, it's very complex.

You should still check if a local dealer would work on it under warranty.

You should still be covered under warranty. Just because the car is in another country shouldn’t void your warranty that I’m aware of.
Finding a capable dealer.......
I really don’t know

Bratanek, I think your best best is a German dealer and even then the warranty will probably not be honored, because if the car was imported personally (ie unofficially), there is nobody to cover your back.

Heck, this doesn't even work between Canada and the US, let alone across the big pond, and I'm not sure if there still are official Chevrolet dealers in Poland as GM pulled out of several countries in Europe already. Sucks and I feel for you

Not sure if this would help but I had all kinds of codes thrown on my 2010 f-150 after I changed out a leaky TCM harness pass through. It turned out to be some residual transmission fluid and the pass through/sleeve not being seated all the way. Cleaned it with some electrical cleaner and all is well. Try to locate the harness to the TCM (transmission Control Module) and check to see if it’s clean and properly seated.

Almost forgot to mention that it caused all kinds of issues with the performance as well

I had something similar with my car and it was the sleeve they needed to add on the wiring harness.

You had the same error codes?

Fortunately, my importers from Poland gave me warranty. Today car went to them. But still have a hope that is something stupid or little thing to solve the problem.

Here are the TSBs (not necessarily for the transmission, but you never know).

The A10 transmission is really cheap, something like $2200 US new right now. Food for thought.
