4L60E is killing me, and my tranny guy#$^# heres the problem,
two months ago i broke the output shaft off my tc. i lost lots of fluid and in return 3rd and 4th gears clutches burned out. i took the trans out and took it to the trans shop for all new clutches. 350.00 he said he gave me a $200.00 discount because they rebuilt my trans 10 months befor. well i got it back three days later and reinstalled it. it worked fine untill i gave it alot of gas from a dead stop. when i nailed it from a stop it sounded like the tc was clicking like it does when you put a trans in park while your still rolling. i took it back to the shop and thay said my motor mounts were bad and it was my fan hitting my fan shroud, well that wasnt true. i replaced the motor mounts and it still did it so i took it back. the trans guy said that he didnt know what it was and to just drive it because he didnt think it was the trans but if it messed up again he would fix it for free. well it stopped doing it and then three weeks later i lost third gear while i was cruising down the road.
i had to take the trans out and take it to them for it to get fixed. he wanted to charge me to take it out. it turned out that the third gear clutch had broken in half and the teeth were gone out of the input drum. so they replaced all the clutches and checked the rest of the trans for damage. i got the trans back and one of my buddys helped me get itr back in.
Now it is dfoing the exact same damn thing as before. the trans guy still says that he doesnt think it is the trans.
BTW it shifts alot harder than it did before i had new clutches installed.
Any ideas on what it could be?
