Need help with the 4L60E

Alright guys, give it to me straight, When Im accelerating and it shifts from 1st into 2nd there is a terrible grinding and the dash shutters for a moment while going in gear...how screwed am I? And what do I need to do to fix it?

Does it make any noise at any other time?

No just everytime it shifts into 2nd, if i accelerate EXTREMELY slowly it doesn't happen...really frustrating and depressing!

Are you sure your mount isn't broke and causing the trans to hit the floor?

Im fairly sure. There's a clear loss of power when it slips...but I guess replacing the mount cant hurt. I've had to do it twice already!

What condition is the fluid in? Is it dark or does it smell burnt? If the grinding is coming from the trans, that's bad news. Most likely a planetary failure.
