Default 4l80e will not shift after doing the tune for the swap! Help plz

So I took my car to Redline motorsports & it doesn't want to shift. it only shift from 1 to 2 manually & then when I shift into 3 or od its like it drops to 1s. If I start it in od it only takes of in 1st & wont shift into any other gear.. Trans was built. Has anyone experienced this before & if so what was your problem?

Who built it?

Assuming this is in your 2000 Camaro?

Who did the wiring?

Out of morbid curiousity. Does your speedometer work? Also, does the car feel like its binding when you shift it into a lower gear?

from your sig I take it you went from a t56 to a 4l80e swap, if so did they do a 4l80e segment swap? or using it on a 4l60 tune+ wiring?

Also how much fluid do you have in it by curiosity!!

Remove the rear speed sensor and tell me what you see/feel in the trans.

Not sure if I will be able to see something cause its tight fitted in there but ill check it out later after work.. 1 question. I have a stock shifter from a trans am that a guy gave me but noticed that there's no sensor on the bracket of the shifter. not sure if its a neutral switch or prnd321 switch. Do I need it?

Since him and I are having the exact same issue, Ill reply also.

I only plugged it into the front VSS as per instructions Ive read here. Theres nothing plugged into the rear sensor.

Theres nothing that goes on the shifter for our cars. Its called a Neutral Safety Switch. Does not need to be there.

The trans will not shift without a rear speed sensor because the PCM has no clue how fast the car is going. So it assumes you are sitting still at all times.

If you did the segment swap/speartech harness then you will need both the ISS and VSS sensors. Had the same issue. Bought an additional sensor, popped it in, plugged it up and walla. Car shifts fine and my speedo worked.

After talking with the fine folks at Jakes and my new buddy tury, we came to the conclusion that neither one of us have VSS sensors hooked up. Mine was cut by PO so I never seen the harness. So now I have to order a pigtail harness (from Jake's) for it and splice it in.
