the 4l60e is notorious for that, 3-4 clutches get burnt, also mine cracked a sunshell only way to tell would be to look at an apply chart for the circuits and that would isolate your problem, also i beleive there is a servo that controls 3-4. ill have to look in my service manual when i get a chance
