You didn't put the tranny in did you ? You had it done by someone , take it back to them or get a second opinion , they may not have changed anything only took your money , it would not surprise me .

Time to move on to a newer vehicle that wants to run. It's 18 years old, transmission failures are common with a GM, and it will cost more to fix than the vehicle is worth! Sorry! Jim

Sounds electronic, possibly a TCM going open. A good transmission shop can do stand alone testing and then determine if it's electronic, something with the transmissions cooling or just a bad transmission.
