Possible trans failure
Possible trans failure I have a performabuilt level 2 4l60e. it has been in my car since the summer of 2007. The other night on my way home i decided i was going to get on my car from a red light. i reved it up a lil bit and went to take of when the light turned green. The car went right to the rev limiter and did nothing. I put it into 1 and went thro the gears and got it into od. It then started acting really werid. at the time before i tried to launch at a light the trans temp was at 170 when i made it back home which was maybe 10 min away the temp was at 190. i pulled the trans dip stick out and it had metal shavings on the end. I did this 3 more times with the same result. Now im trying to figure out if the trans shitted out of it was the converter failing. Any help would be awesome thanks
am i gna have to rebuild the whole trans?. im not knocking performabuilt at all i am really pleased w the overall quality of the tranit percormed really well over the last 3 years
With metal shavings in the pan, there is likely metal in every crevice in the trans. So I would suggest a complete teardown, thorough cleaning of all parts, replacement of all friction elements (metal can become imbedded in the friction material), etc.
Basically a full rebuild.
It's not a hit on Performabuilt or any other trans builder. It's a weak design and to my knowledge ( I don't specialize in 4L60Es so I don't stay as up to date as some) there is no improved part for this other than the dual cage sprag everyone uses. It's a load bearing component that simply has a limit and shock loading kills them.
I'm amazed they hold up as well as they do.
