93 Suburban, While driving the ABS light will come on and the transmission feels like it is out of gear, I let up on the throttle and the trans engages again, the ABS light stays on. What do I need to be looking at for this problem?

I don't think they are connected but you have a major tranny problem for sure. take it to a reliable tranny shop and let them check it out. I hope you have checked you fluid level as it will cause the same problem.

Suggested Repair

Check the transmission fluid level first, since low fluid can cause the same slipping. If the problem continues, have a reliable transmission shop diagnose the out-of-gear condition; the ABS light may be a separate issue.
