LS4 Transmission Problem Thread (4T65-HD); Current Total Inside
Started having problems around 63,000 miles. Shifting at WOT comeing out of 1st gear she would free wheel for a second then, it would feel like a neutral drop into 2nd gear. I have no idea how the input shaft didn’t break? Under normal driving conditions shifts fine. TEP in the spring. I don’t know if I should be added to list, seeing as I’ve got the turbo?

I've owned my car since brand new.. I special ordered it when I bought it... and I made it to 100,000 miles on my stock original tranny...
I'm now on my replacement GM SERTA tranny, and am at just about 102,000 miles...

Lol, you can add me to both lists. Hahaha. I know my trans has been rebuilt before, but that was before I got the car. But as of now, its been giving my quite a bit of problems.
Clunking, Hard Shifting, RPM up an down while in cruise, grinding, in and out of gear, just to name a few. I talked to my the trans guy my dad knows, and hes pretty good, but he said until the car starts throwing codes, or gets a lot worse, theres not much that can be done. Even though its a list of things happening, they still seem to be very miniscule, and don't happen all the time.

Then I would definitely check the adjustment of the e-brake cable. You're probably not getting much bite, and it only a takes a slight rollback to make it difficult to move out of park.

I had a shudder down shifting into first with the paddles. I used Lucas oil tranny additive and I don't know if it just stopped on its own or if the additive helped out. I just got a shift kit from ZZP and I wanna throw it in but I'm now wondering if thats a good idea. I'm thinking I should just leave well enough alone. I am also gonna grab a cooler before too long and throw that on too. Any thoughts on that?
