I was driving to day doin about 70mph when all the sudeen bam lost 3rd and 4th. Nooooooooooo. Its not so bad thoe Ill get the pats at cost and I work for GM and one of my friends is gonna do it that works their for free. but it still sucks cuse i gotto pull it. Fill free to give me any tips as to any thing i need to un-do or unbolt uptop.

PS Man i herd the low gears alway go out frist in our ca wonder what happnd.

PSS Pleas belive I am gonna put a fat shiftkit in it to

 

find out what racn LT1 (or something like that) did

hes running 11.2 all day long
for $800 with labor

 

I have the same problem right now. it jsut shifted down to 2nd right? and in 2nd when you take off or does it go from 1st to second? one menas it is the 1-2 shift and the othe menas it is the 2-3 shift silonoid...either way one of the shift silonoids went bad. they are right inside once you take the pan off....so don't need a complete rebuild.....jsut 1 or 2 little electronic parts!!

 

this is exactly what happend to me a couple of months ago..........i replaced both shift solenoids.......(even thought i knew only one was bad..........im just like that...........everything has to be perfect)..........and it fixed the problem right up!!!...........except i lost 1st and 4th.............yeah i went 60 at 3k rpms.....omg!!! ...............and 90 at about 5200 rpms.......another ........................shift solenoids....(2 to 3 hour process)......good luck

well when i shift out of 2end in to 3rd its its like it goes in to neutral and just revs up but frist and 2end are fine. how do i no if the solenids

 

mine did the exact same thing, it would shift out of 2nd, nor would it drop RPMs b4 it tried to shift out.just free revved....i ended up doing a complete rebuild, got parts and labor cheap........1350 labor/TCI rebuild kit/TCI 3000 Stall

 

any one haveany ideas. So you dont think its selnoid.

PS It looks like i amgonna pay about 400 bucks right now

150 for kit
200 tork conv
6 pack - friend thats gonna rebulid it

Pss how canyou tell if one of the selnoid is bad

 

by taking them out



My SES light was tripped when the whole then took place. When i had the codes ran it ran out shift solenoids. (i guess i should have mentioned that earlier.....sorry ) i hope you get everything straightened out. Good luck


Scott

 

yeah I forgot about the codes.....not sure if it tripped the light or not as my SES light is always on anyway.....bad after cat O2 sensor.

 

Been there done that. I have destroyed my 4L60E lets see oh too many times to count. From what you are describing you lost the 3/4 clutch pack. Very common problem with our A4's. The tranny will have to be rebuilt but ask for Coleyne steel clutches and in my opinion the Raybestest blue clutch packs work very well. After my last rebuild in my Impala I have made over 200 passes at the track and the tranny is still ticking. Just reasontly took the pan down for a sevice and found no signs of problems I just screwed myself by saying that but the car is still moving at this time and ready to go back to the track with just installed 4.10'sand 125 shotof juice. We will see what happens from there. Good luck!
