Default Trans Help! 4L60E!

I have been having some problems recently with my trans. It won't WOT shift from 1-2, when I jump on it and the trans downshifts to second, it just free revs , 3rd and 4th are still just fine. Also, the car won't shift out of first with out me letting out of the throttle. What did I break now?

Say goodbye to your tranny. It's dead.

May I suggest saying a 'hello' to a FLP level 4 tranny? https://www.flp2win.com/store/produc...1be2924ff27479

if you'd like to stick with a 4l60e (so no modifications to install it, no mods to the comp, etc)
and want a QUALITY tranny thats the one to get..

after many hours of reading up on the subject, there's only 2 choices if you want a quality built 4l60e. either flp level 4, or a rossler http://www.rosslertrans.com/ transmission.

but flp level 4 is a little bit cheaper and is (from what i gather) very nice.

good luck, with whichever you choose.

It could be a cracked plastic 1-2 accumulator piston.

You don't need an FLP trans if you're running in the mid 13's, that would be a huge waste of money IMO.

That is true, if he is planning on running mid 13s, it is not really needed

I'm a bit faster than mid 13's. However, a full on built race trans is probably overkill for my application. I just want to get the car back to normal.
