1ST gear is not any application of a clutch set as such. In fact in most trans it is the absence of any application except the FWD clutch with the LOW ROLLER (SPRAG) One way holding. In the 60e the low rev clutch is only on in manual low 1 and reverse (mostly important for that) other than that. its primary function is for engine braking in manual low 1. Though it does serve to help support the LOW ROLLER in manual L1 also.

Loss of reverse with a 4l60e assuming you still have 2nd and 4th will be issue with the low reverse clutch set or piston or reverse input drum clutches or piston , Not much else to it really .
Now if you have no second or 4t then stripped sunshell

Or low fluid. 🙄
Well, as long as I've got your ear...
Over the summer I manage to smoke my 3-4 clutches when I found that fluid level was extremely low. Dry stick kinda low. Last time I was in there was like 5 years ago. Did my best at a rookie overhaul in end of July which actually worked out well despite two fatal flaws I hada take my chances with. Pump exterior surface had numerous hairline fractures in it. Didn't dare break it down as I had no reason to think it was problematic. And, in the case wormholes, I found the surface had gotten gouged up which I can only assume was my doing, though I don't know how. I worked on an old wooden picnic table.
Anywho, shockingly, the unit ran well despite flaws (but I knew id be on an expiration date), however here I am with a persistent leak as I've found it low again. I never noticed any puddles underneath this ole girl or wet areas on the case. Poured another 1/2G fluid in just to back it further my driveway which actually worked. R engaged nicely again. Maybe she leaks mainly under operating pressure?

You may have missed my self-deprecating type eye roll humor. Also, it wasnt a waste of time as Frank's info was just as valuable to me.
