1 Noises During Shifting problem

Failure Date: 09/06/2006

I have a 2003 K1500 Chevrolet silverado with an automatic transmission that has a severe clunking noise when shifting between 2 and 3 gear. Chevrolet acknowledges the clunking sound and gave me a document id#1828818 which states they have a problem but no solution. I have contacted the dealer I purchased the truck from and another local dealer since with my first visit on 12/17/04 at 14444 miles with the clunking noise progressively getting worse. I have been told by both dealers on every visit that Chevrolet will not repair nor replace the transmission. Please help.
