I have a 4L60E that won't **** from 2nd gear at WOT. It won't shift out of 2nd unless it's below 3,000RPM's. Even when I run it through the gears myself. It's also full on fluid and the fluid is a darkish red, real metalicy.
Transmission has a trans cooler (B&M), Shift Kit (Trans-go) and a TCI Streetfighter 3500RPM Stall. The car has been tuned with HPTuners for the modifications to the transmission. It's never done this before. And while I was driving on Sunday, I got on the free way and got into it. When I did the transmission went from 2,000RPM to 6,500RPM in what seemed to be a free rev stage. It really felt like I was driving my Mustang and put the clutch in and just revved. It's weird. Can anyone help me figure this issue out?

1st thing to check is the shift modules. My '96 did the same thing, just a simple little electrical piece. Can't remeber the cost but its much cheaper than a new tranny or a rebuild. Hopefully thats all thats wrong. Good luck!

Could be the valve body. Rebuilt my dad's chevelle transmission (TH350) twice correctly but couldnt get it to shift from second to third.
Finally took it to a shop. They said there is no way of telling a valve body is bad by looking at it and that everythig else had been rebuilt correctly.
