Default 4L60 Problem....

Ok, here's the scoop. Transmission does not engage into gear fully under WOT. I pulled the pan, and much to my expectation, the seal aroung the filter snout was missing a piece. Therefore, the tranny was sucking air. Ok, change the filter and fluid. Runs and shifts great.....for a while. Now, the truck acts like it only has 1st and 3rd. It will try to shift into 4th but won't quite engage fully. Kinda hangs up??? Also when shifting from 1st, I have to let off the gas in order for it to engage 2nd or 3rd (which ever it is actually shifting into). Tranny all stock. Anyone??? Later, FCG

Sounds like when the seal broke on the pickup tube it wasn't letting it get tranny fluid (obviously) which is a bad thing. More than likely the tranny is toast. Time for a rebuild... Might as well go stronger too. 4L60E is junk.

After the fluid and filter change, it shifted and ran fine for a good while. Could it be tranny is not getting the shift signal from the computer??

If you lost 2nd & 4th only, then the 2-4 band is broke or burnt/glazed. If reverse is gone, along with 2nd & 4th, then the sunshell is broke. If this happened all at once then (2nd & 4th) then you broke the 2-4 band. If it happened slowly, then it is burnt/glazed.

I guess that means the entire tranny will have to be pulled for this fix???

Would be very unlikely since it happened after the tranny is abused...

Just for the record....it was the 2-4 band and a valve that was opening when it wasn't supposed to. $839 later, I have a great, firm shifting tranny. Later, FCG

I believe it was the band. That valve issue sounds a little fishy.
