Friend has a tranny problem..ideas? Friend of mind has a tranny problem but we cant figure out what it is, any ideas...
"4l60E with TCI 3000 stall. Broke two flexlates then I put a TCI SFI plate on it and has worked fine for the last year. Monday on the way home from work I was at about 55 and stomped on it (no I wasn't spraying) it down shifted two gears pulled a little at first then nothig... at all. Coasted to a stop. Car starts and runs with out shimmie or noises, which was a problem with the broken flexplate before. I inspected the plate and converter the are still intact. I have park but when I put it in to any gear... nothing. No change in Idle, nothing almost as if I had not shifted the car into a gear. The shifter cable is still hooked up. I have narowed it down to either something in the converter or the tranny itself, but if it was the tranny, I don't think all the gears would be gone and I would hear somthing, so I am leaning toward the stall. If it is the stall how can I tell just short of taking it to some who is going to rip me off and tell me to buy a new even if there is nothing wrong with it. Send help fast!"
Thanks in advance
