so i just finished putting a cam in my car this weekend, and it went off without a hitch. no problems. tonight i go to give my friend a ride, and i wasn't even really ripping it. I started in first, pulled to about 6 grand, bumped it to second, and zing. it hits the rev limiter. i stopped on the highway, and i had NO gears. not even reverse. Park does hold.

The transmission was built less than 3 thousand miles ago by a company in Florida by the name of Transmission Physicians. It was rebuilt due to pump failure. They went back in with a Beast sunshell, kevlar clutches, unbreakable pump rings, and other quality parts.

What could be wrong with my tranny?

 

Sounds like you lost a pump. Pull a cooler line off and see if its pumping fluid

 

alright. will do. pump was my first thought too, but i wanted another opinion.

 

I would say pump to and when you fix it be sure and check converter spacing we had a guy break three pumps before he checked it and found it was way excessive a year or so ago. Since then he has been good to go

 

just to be sure, what is the proper converter spacing?

 

With the converter fully back in the trans you should have about 1/8th inch space between the converter bolt pad and the felx plate bolt pad surface.

 

Wait...you don't even have park? It's been a few years since I rebuilt a 4L60E so I'm a bit foggy. If the pump is toasted he should still have park right? Maybe check the back end of the trans...in the output shaft area or something? I could be smoking something too.

 

i said i had no gears, and then i said park does hold. thanks for the input though. i just pulled a line of the cooler, and no fluid movement. so now it's lunch time and tranny pullin time.
