4l60E cuts out at cruise speed off throttle Now I'm just not getting this.. first off the trans is not slipping car runs 13:23 1/4 mile (bone stock w street tires) while this was going on ....what it does is your cruising at 55/60 mph and you get out of throttle and its gone nothing free rev when you get back in to the throttle it will do this 1 out 30 times of getting in and out of the throttle at a cruise speed and when I say in and out of the throttle I talking about just cruising in traffic and not hammering the throttle if you go to third and shift back to OD it's back and when you pull it in to third its there no slip and a good shift back to OD. I dropped the pan last night and found that someone had serviced the trans at some point and I found NO METAL NO CLUTCH NO BRASS nothing to make me think this trans in messed up... There was some powder type metal on the magnet but nothing large in the pan. I pulled the pressure control soleniod and I think the plug was not on right because it came off very easy I think it was only on one part of the plug so I pulled it and checked it out and nothing in the screens on the soleniod so I sprayed it /cleaned it and reinstalled it and this time the wires clicked into place and there is no way of just pulling it off like it did the first time.....so we put a new filter and fliud and took the car out and cruised it for over a hour and had no problems did a on ramp start ran the car from stop to about 90 mph it ran thru all gears at about 3/4 throttle like 3 times and cruised at speed and coasted for over a 1/4 mile and it never slipped or disengaged nothing no problems. We go back to the shop and clean up and bullshit for like twenty minutes and I get in the car to go home and it does it 3 times in about 25 mile running on a back roads at a cruise speed of around 50 mph ..WTF..... Now what is going on with this trans do I replace the Trans Pressure switch and the Pressure control soleniod do I rebuild do I deal with it I dont think I can give any more details ....The car smokes the tires fist gear after second gear shift spins again and nice shift into third and forth car pulls hard and also has NO TROUBLE CODES OR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ....NEED HELP WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS CONDITION

Sounds like the forward sprag or over run clutch if I underestand your problem correctly. When cruising at higher rpm and letting off the gas the engine returns to idle??

I did some research and it seems like it maybe the pressure control valve I changed the trans fluid and filter and now it has only done it like 3 times in about a 150 miles. I found this and what he says is what mine is doing just dropping out of gear off throttle. I'm going to put some miles on the car today and see what happens it was doing it all the time now its only once and a while?? I dont want to think its sprag the pan was clean no metal in the pan no clutch material ??? and changing the filter and fluid seems to have changed the way its acting....

If it was this would I be able to make it do it all the time or would it only do it once and then not do it again for a while..... I really need some help with this I'm not wanting to send the trans out to be built at this time.....and I didnt do the pressure switch yet
