I honestly dont know much about the transmissions but i'm just tossing a few ideas out there. What type of shifter are you using? All other gears operate properly? Shifts into them fine? I had the NSBU (Nuetral safety back up) switch act up on my Duramax/Allison truck and it would start out in 2nd gear. It also would not display D on the LCD indicator but would display the other gears.

Hi just wondering what year is the 6.0 and the 4L60e.

Im trying to mate a 2000 6.0 and what i think is a 1996 4L60e and it looks like the converter will not sit flush with the flexplate.

4L60e with stock converter.



6.0L with Stock Flex Plate



4L60e Converter & 6.OL Flex Plate
