Problem with my 4l60e.....burning fluid, and a vibrating Hey guys need some help
I'm burning trans fluid, that's a problem right there. I have to try replacing the fluid, the filter, and the gasket see if that helps. Other than that no leaks no nothing. I've checked the rear main seal so that's not an option.
I also have this vibrating problem
Now it does it on harder accelerations. I've also noticed it do it when in D....foot on the brake....and getting ready to raise the RPM's to do a burnout. It's really bad when this is done. I'm really lost on this problem
The vibrating I have checked the weights on the DS they are all there. I've checked everything I can think of.
Thaanks for your help everyone.

Burnt fluid (as Dustin said, brown color, smells burnt) is caused by internal slipping, and this is probably the vibration you feel (slip...grab...slip...grab...).
The internal slipping wears out friction linings on clutches and band, and generates heat which fries the rubber seals and further deteriorates the friction linings, which allows more slipage...

Does not smell burnt nor does it look burnt. I jsut got it changed and we will see how it goes from there. Also I think the vibrating may be a bad yoke or u-joint. Going to try to replace those if anyone think that's what it could be

The problem with the vibrating has been pinpointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Broken motor mount. My damn engine lifts like a ****!
Anyways, the tranny fluid still looks good too, so we'll see maybe I'm in the clear

Check the wiring harness just did my transmission sensors ND it seemed to help the shifting as well as the control on the drivers side of the pan they have a kit on ebay to replace all electrical components the vibration I have to ND can't figure it out
