yes for about 1/3 to 1/2 for a new factory one, or it could be a sensor for just a few hundred

Past experience from GM transmission getting rebuilt, in a transmission shops here. Always cheaper than a new one from a Main dealer.

Same as West slope on his radiator last year, his went bad, checked with a LR dealer was in the $400 range, told him to go to a radiator shop and fixed for less than 1/2 of new.

You need an independent view of the codes given by the vehicle -

the GM box and it's wiring ... and the very common fluid cooling problems ...

GM 5ATs are fitted with fluid temperature sensors.
However, in the event of a sensor failure the ECU should default to a value derived from the engine coolant temperature and a P code should be flagged & stored depending on the failure mode :

As I mentioned before, you need to get the codes read soonest ...

This link is to a USA site that may help explain WHY you need a transmission specialist to look at it ...
