Default Issues with my 4L60E when I have it locked out in a gear.

So I noticed this and don't know if it's an issue or not. If I lock my car out in first or second and take it to about 4k rpms then let off, it freewheels and coasts at idle, when I start to give it throttle again, it finds where it needs to be and starts pulling again.

Anyone know what this could be? Fluid is fine, tranny doesn't get hot, all the shift solenoids are fine according to the scanner. Just wondering if I need to worry or not.

Thanks!

Sounds like the overun clutch shell has broken loose from the input sprag. This will cause no engine braking in the lower gears

Is this going to turn into a large issue if I leave it as is for now or?
