He went ahead and rebuilt the entire thing and even upgraded some things like the Sun Shell and others. I got the truck back about 3 days ago and it is running great.Īccording to him, it was the 3/4 clutches that were the problem.
I found a good reputable Transmission shop here and took it to them.

🙁 “And” if you are feeling adventurous you can rebuild your OLD trans With upgraded parts in your spare time, and at your convenience, Just get a good step by step manual on your trans, and take your time.Īnd a little money spent is what helped here. But my luck is I always seem to get the bad one. There are probably many, many, many, good ones out there for every 1 bad one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying all rebuild places are crap. Personally I have had bad experiences with them in the past. I just really don’t trust “rebuild” places. BE PICKY, there are millions of these trucks on the road and more than a few have met an untimely end do to a wreck or whatever, so the lower miles on it the better. But the most cost effective is bone yard! Put it in yourself of course, 0 labor cost is always the way to go. Would be a shame to burn up your “new” trans. I would also make sure the lines that run to the cooler are not obstructed. “if i has one” also check to see if the fluid that comes out is milky.

Before you install it in your ride, drain it and check for metal shavings on the magnet in the pan. Most bone yards will honor the deal, if it doesn’t work they will swap it for you. Just find a Chevy with a compatible trans, and purchase it. it will shift harder and wear the clutches out less.īut a better option if you are on a pretty strict budget like yours truly would be a bone yard trans. In my very humble opinion, i would probably not pay anyone to rebuild it, unless you upgraded the clutch packs, and added a shift improvement kit. As a final question, do transmission shops allow payment plans for the $2000? I know I cant pay all that up front at once. What do you, the members of the Stay Dirty Lounge, think of this? Should I even try to replace that filter to see if it fixes it and allows it to drive, or should I just break down and see if I can take it to a transmission shop to have em do the rebuild? I honestly don’t think its a solenoid, because it is completing the shift, but it just slips. The lowest price I found is $800, but I have found extremely mixed reviews on this shop, and am not sure I want to take the truck to them. I have called around for prices and a good reputable shop will do it for up to $2000. However, I was also told this could be a bad shift solenoid, and the worst case, the transmission 3-4 clutch packs (which tend to be a common failure on the 4L60E).

I know this is the cheapest way to go in the start because the filter is only $9 at Autozone, plus a few quarts of ATF. I have been told that it could be line pressure being held back due to a clogged filter. I can drive the truck with the selector in 2nd, but I cant go faster than 40 MPH. Again, I havent tried to push it farther to get it to shift into overdrive. If you hold the accelerator down with the revs at 4000, the speed of the truck will continue to increase but its slow. Then, when it shifts into third, and the revs jump up to 4000 Revs.
It will start off in first normally and shift to and drive in second normally. What it does now is completely slip in 3rd, and I dont think it even goes fast enough to get to overdrive. Then it would start to slip in Overdrive. At the beginning, it was shifting into third, would rev up to about 4000 revs, and then lock into gear and proceed as normal. The strange thing is, I checked the level about two weeks before and it was registering as normal on the dipstick.Īdding Fluid did not fix the problem. I had never seen any leaks under the truck no matter where I parked it. I added ATF Fluid (almost two quarts) and then it registered normally on the dipstick. I stopped at my destination and checked the ATF level, and it was not registering on the dipstick despite going through all the gears for three seconds. One day, I drove the truck and noticed it started to slip real bad in 3rd and 4th. I drove it daily and it shifted fine and never slipped. I have a 98 Chevy K1500 Z71 with the 5.7L Vortec V8 under the hood and the 4L60E transmission.
I have gotten advice in many things with this issue and I am trying to find the best way to go regarding my truck. I am a long time follower of ETCG and his Youtube Channels, and first time poster here in the forums.
