Default 4L60E on its way out.. No gone

Ok so driving back from meeting up with the other PHK people on the 210 I was messing around with a del sol and another camaro....


Heres the deal my car never liked going into 4th it would bounce off the rev limiter I would have to let off the accelerator and then it would shift. Now first gear is ok, seconds gear it winds up the rpms but not climbing in mph and feels like it is not engaging, third same issue, 4th same issue. i was on the freeway coming home after I found this issue and well I was at 3200 RPMs at 68 mph...

Tire Smoke - Evan, myslef, and my buddy mike think it is the tranny having taken a giant **** on me. Sound like fun to anyone?

If you were going WOT into 4th then yes your trans is most likely toast...


Take it to someone in your area who really knows these cars and let them test it out

Ive just been there and done that. Its a matter of time. Good luck with the rebuild. First check your trans fluid level, remove the pan and see how much metal is in pan and color of fluid. That will tell you a lot.

Tried hitting you up bro, phone was off. Id def change the trans mount, those energy mounts cause alot of vibration... but the vibration and your busted 2-3 shift noise are 2 separate issues. As far as the driveshaft, I doubt thats your issue. If your U-joints were going bad youd get noise just going into gear... let me know if you need anything bro.

Good luck Adam, pm sent.
