Default transmission issue briefly goes away after shifting into 4WD

I have an '06 silverado 1500 4WD with the 5.3 and roughly 78k on it. A bunch of codes popped up for the transmission. I am getting shift solenoid codes, clutch and torque converter codes. Im losing first gear and overdrive when these codes pop up or vice versa. The funny thing is when i put the truck in 4WD then back to 2WD the codes go away and the transmission shifts perfect for a day or so. The ATF isnt burnt and has good color.
This leads me to beleive I have an electrical problem causing these codes and the shift solenoids to malfunction. Ive asked around and im stumping all the mechanics I ask. I have had trouble finding a good diagnostic guy. Anyone want to weigh in?

Personally I wouldn't want to hazard a guess without seeing a wiring diagram first.
Then I'd check the power and ground circuits.
