Oh I forgot to mention one part. I did try the program update you and Duro noted
Transmission software update

But I still have to sort out what is up with the version numbers as my 4.8is had the program numbers for the 4.4 in it. Mine had 7564917 on it / sss progman did updated to same 7464917. This was probably good to clear out any corruption too.

Still puzzled that the part number i have does not match 4.8is transmision (post #7)

I have been thinking to check what programman version I have and then maybe entering in the version number manually instead of auto select.
