Something is wrong with my transmission and I took it to our local tranny shop and he says there is no voltage to the tranny. What should I look at next? Is it a valve body issue?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!

Check the TCM in the passenger side floorboard. Often it'll get water in there and fail.
I had one that had the can line short to ground.

Yes I changed out the TCM and did not fix the issue.

Any other ideas?
I've got ideas, but what you should do is do some diagnostics, or find someone who can. Is it throwing a TCM code, or there's no communication to the TCM? I'd start with that, and if there's no communication, go to testing the wiring.
