4l60e shifting problems edward 4-20-08  
I have a 95 s10 2.2 it had been sitting for along time. the problem is if you put it in drive or od nothing happens, if you manually put it in first it goes shifts second fine, you have to may sure you are going over 30ish mph to shift into drive and 45ish for od. everything feels solid when in goes into gear i just have to shift it manually. thanks for any help.

My 02 chevy silverado 1500 shifts fine from first to second, and wont shift into third or OD.. i replaced the 2_3 shift solenoid and no change.. fluid level color and smell is fine. So i then replaced the tranny, it ran fine shifted great for the first three hours. I went home parked it and the next mornin wen i was headed to town i had the exact same problem as i had before i changed the tranny.. i can do the work myself but i dont wanna just change parts. It sounds electrical but idk.. any hints suggestions will be helpful thanks

I have a 1996 Chevrolet Silverado 2 Wheel Drive and I just bought the truck three weeks ago from a supposed to be friend. When Trans. is cold everything shfts fine but once it heats up I have a bad slipping in OD before it downshifts.The Fluid had a burnt smell so I changed filter and Fluid and added RESLONE as directed.The Trans.Fluid was close to being black and Filter looked bad also.And if I start off fast it doesn't want to change to second.Has anyone had the same problem? HELP!

Re: 4l60e shifting problems Karl 10-14-08  
Vehicle is 96 chevy 1500 extended cab.
transmission is 4l60e
Problem
Trans has 1st and 2nd gear and shifts ok between the two. will not shift to 3rd or OD not even manually,It's like the gears are not even there. Fluid has no burnt smell nor is it discolored. I have replaced shift solenoids and still have no upper gears. Can someone tell me what the next steps are?
Re: 4l60e shifting problems Mr. Lt1 7-21-08  
Replace all the sloenoids along with the filter and fluid, if this doesnt work you need to have your pcm reflashed, this should do it, if not let me know.

Re: 4l60e shifting problems richard craighead 5-12-09  
I have a 98 Z and shifts fine for a little while when first started and then goes to limp mode. When it messes up it will shift very firm 1-2 and 2-3 then no 4. No 1 then either. thinkin it be electrical, can run about 60 with shifter in 3 and turn off key for about 5 seconds til speedo starts to go back to 0 then turn key beck on and bump shifter back into OD and it will go to 4 and stay there til next time you stop. takes off in 1st one time and shifts hard 2 hard 3 and no 4 and no back to 1. Anyone who can help would be greatly appriciated.

Re: 4l60e shifting problems Teddy Spivey 11-17-09  
I have a 95 SS, my problem seems to occur at the shift between 2nd and 3rd when i'm really on the gas. If I drive normally it shifts just fine but when I get on the gas hard when it's time to go into third it won't shift, I have to come off the gas and then push it again then it will shift. I just had the transmission rebuilt minus the electronic parts could some of those be my issue. I would greatly appreciate some help as well from anyone.
Re: 4l60e shifting problems zack 9-22-11

Re: 4l60e shifting problems Alex 11-25-11  
4L60e behind completely rebuilt 4.3L Vortec, installed in a '95 GMC Jimmy 4dr/4wd.

Trans not separated during rebuild, bottom end of motor was okay.
Truck starts, shifts fine and then once it's warmed up, it stops shifting.

Truck belongs to Terminally ill cancer patient so I need to resolve issues ASAP.

Any ideas or suggestions?
