Default Code P1721 & P1720

I've got a 2001 duramax with the allison. i was getting on it. It was fine till an hour after i got back in the truck. More than half throttle through 2-3 it kicked to neutral. After i came to a stop from limp mode it threw code P1721 for the trim solenoid B. every now and then it throws p1720 for the A solenoid. It does it every time i drive it more than half throttle. I dropped the pan. no excessive clutch material. the solenoids tested good along with the other ones. and now it WONT MOVE AT ALL. What is wrong? I need help bad this is the only truck i have to pull whith.
