Default 4l60e installed shift kit
Hey I recently installed a shift kit in my 4l60e on a 2003 Chevy Silverado. When I was finished my transmission has reverse neutral and drive but will not come outta first gear. Now prior to installing this shift kit I had my truck detailed and asked them to clean under it good and about a quart of water got into my transmission and had a bent spring inside the valve body causeibg it not to be able to shift outta 2nd. And suggestions or tips?

So are you saying you can move the shift lever through all positions but When you try to drive normally it won't shift from 1st to second?

In that case recheck everything that was done during the shift kit installation.

I’ve did that already checked all valve and piston slots everything is in place 1-2 accumulator seems to be working properly. When the water got inside of it then it started not shifting outta 2nd gear so when I took the valve body out and found the bent spring I assumed that was in so I installed a shift kit seems how I needed a new spring but even after that it’s still not shifting outta 2nd gear but I can run the shifter thru all gears

Usually once water hits the clutches it makes the material come right off. Sounds like it's time to have someone rebuild it for you.
