like performabuilt is asking, find of if your car shifts into 4th. if your car only goes 1-3, you broke your sunshell. that's one of the 4L60E's most common problems - a broken sunshell. thankfully, they make a part called "The Beast" sunshell. it's only around $50 and they simply don't break. however, you will need it rebuilt. also, it wouldn't hurt to see if your car goes into reverse.

my second gear is gone too...
i have all other gears though... im getting a rebuild as soon as my incometax check rolls in...
i was told its most likely the 2nd gear band... the band is supposed to have a circle with a small lip on it, and it is most likely an oval now... (thats what i was told).. its pretty common w/ the 4l60e from what i hear
ohh and welcome to the site...

i build 4l60es and they can handle 700hp no problem For the last few years, I have been concentrating on the problems of 700R4's & 4L60E's, and have come up with some "solid" solutions. With the help of Trans-Go (Reprogramming kits, No Yo-Yo steel front pump rings, accumulation products, and technical knowledge), Borg Warner (Hi-Energy 3-4 clutches, & Hi-Energy 2-4 band), and General Motors (Viton seal for the input to output shaft, eliminating rear planet failure due to lack of lubrication, and their Turbulator low-drag steel & quick clutch release technology). I thank you.
If you are "tired" of the 1-2 part throttle (slam, bang, harsh, or violent) shifts of your present 700R4 & 4L60E transmission, then you will like my Performance oriented 700R4/4L60E's. They offer nice part throttle 1-2 & 2-3 accumulated shifts with the shifts getting firmer with more throttle.
All of these factors have contributed to these units holding up to 550-575 HP for the Street/Strip 700R4 & 4L60E and 625-650 HP for the "Limited" Street 700R4 & 4L60E, (that is with using a 10" or smaller diameter torque converter of high quality). These transmissions come with a one year warranty.
If you are looking at building this transmission 700R4/4L60E yourself or having a competent builder do it for you, then I offer a very complete rebuild kits. These kits use the same parts that I use in all of my Performance 700R4 & 4L60E buildups, including the Trans-Go Performance Shift kit with the "proven" accumulation setup.
And paying close attention to clearances & details, has given us have many vehicles in the 11's, a few in the 10's, a couple of high 9's, and the quickest/fastest is a 3,630 lbs w/driver street driven 2000 Firebird. He built the transmission himself using the Pro Street Performance Upgrade, and has run a best of a 5.78ET @121mph in the 1/8 mile, & a 9.36ET @144.6mph in the 1/4 mile. By the way his wife does the driving. Had over 300 passes when he had to replace the 3-4 clutch pack. This shows you what the transmission is capable of, so it can be done, and you can do it with the right parts & direction.
