4L60e Problems
4L60e Problems Ok heres my problem I bought my 94 z28 and it had a late modle 98+ 4l60 out of an s10 in it. When I frist got it the VSS was not hookeed up and it wouldn't go in frist or 4th gears. Now I have the VSS hooked up but it still wont go in 1st or 4th gears. My queston is. Is there something wrong with the transmisson or is it incompabilaty with the PCM and the transmisson?
Why do I need that for a 4L60 . Thats for a 700r. I moght get that thou. Couse I plan on putting my spare 700r in there till I get this built but if its not going to work I wont brother with this one.

Does it not even have manual first? Or no first when in the D4 or D range? No manual first, could be big problems. Could be shift solenoid problem, sediment in valve body, low reverse clutch problem, tons of things. No 4th could also introduce a band or servo problem, or 3-4 clutch pack problem, but that usually goes with no 3rd also. If you have 2nd gear the band may be okay. Dunno, may wanna go to good tranny shop.

the transmission is in 'Limp home' mode. I would start with checking to see if it is plugged in. Seeing how the wrong unit is in there Lock-up probably won't work.
I would start with making sure the trans is even plugged in. there is a 2in or so round connector on the passenger side of the transmission the should be plugged in to control the trans. Once you are sure that is plugged in scan it and clear codes. If you get a bunch of codes then I would check for blown fuses
Good luck!
BTW yes VSS changed in 96 but the are compatible
