Dear Scotty, I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3.5 4x4. I lost the transmission entirely and it quit working. A recommended local transmission shop "rebuilt" it for 3700. dollars. When I picked it up, he told me he does not replace the solenoid board. It's this large plastic part that he said costs $1000. So why not? Is this common? Transmission still shutters like going over rumble strips on a highway. He also said he replaced the torque converter but some say that's what's making the noise. What gives?

They did a lousy job. Modern automatic transmissions are extremely complex and difficult to rebuild properly. A significant percentage are not done right. In general a replacement factory remanufactured transmission is preferable to a local rebuild of your existing unit.
Hardly anyone knows these days how to rebuild a transmission properly. I am not surprised.
never get a transmission rebuild. Always get a fully remanufactured, tested and warrantied unit.
