for the most part.when its cold it will shift when its not suppost to but once it wrms up its fine.i due no your suppost to let turbo and supercharged cars run for awhile when its cold otherwise it shifts like that.

is it just the tcs off/tcs lite, or is the hold lite on too? if the hold is not on, then i would guess that you fubar'd a connection when you did the radio. if the hold lite is on, then you may have done something to the switch on the shift lever, and it is stuck in hold. if it was going into limp home, you would know it

This sounds like a bad wheel sensor to me. ABS/TCS light on would indicate to me that it probably had a bad wheel sensor.

if it's a wheel sensor you get 3 lights

ABS, TCS, and TCS Off

If you are only getting 2 lights, there is a transmission code stored and you need a proper scan tool to read it. in this case it is probably a control solenoid that is on it's way out.
