I do a pan drop/filter change and use GM'* latest fluid Dexron VI (6) every 50 k miles.
You may want to get the codes read & see what codes state.
New fresh filter & fluid may help, but codes are needed for sure.

I find it unusual with these kind of shifting issues, that no transmission codes are present on an 08 lacrosse. What kind of scanner are they using?
What is the "shop" saying about your trans condition?
Your P0128 code- thermostat could be stuck open and only use the correct GM/ Delco replacement in there.

How exactly did they arrive or jump to that conclusion?
Did they drop the pan, look inside for clutch material or even consider servicing the trans first with new fluid & filter and see if it runs then?
In most situations a trans can be re-built.
I am leaning towards recommending another trans shop.
What scanner were they using? It requires a good scanner like TechII or Snap on ultra to get the car scanned properly.

Attention TechII -help...
If I remember right, they should also be able to command trans solenoids to make sure they are working correctly, with the correct scanners.
