Why are there no reverse gears on my 4L60E?

Why are there no reverse gears on my 4L60E?

4L60E has forward gears, but no reverse This is also a pretty common issue with the 4L60E. More than likely the reverse input snap ring has sheared or snapped off. It can also be caused by the sun shell breaking.

What kind of transmission is the 4L60E?

What is a 4L60E Transmission? The 4L60-E is an automatic shift, four-speed overdrive, longitudinally positioned transmission. It has been considered to be the best rendition of the finest overdrive automatic transmission ever produced.

How much fluid does a GM 4L60E need?

The 4L60E transmission weighs 146 pounds dry, and 162 wet. It requires 8.4 quarts (9.64″ torque converter) or 11.4 quarts (11.81″ torque converter) of transmission fluid, Below is a list of common transmission problems with the GM 4L60E Transmission and possible solutions to repair.

What does electronic shifting control on GM 4L60E mean?

This means that a series of valve pressures made the transmission shift gears. GM made the jump to electronic shifting control with the 4L60E ( E lectronic shifting control). Keep on scrolling down to read more about electronic shifting and its many advantages.

Why are there no forward gears on my 4L60E?

Long story short, old transmission is shot, new transmission that was a fresh build, will not engage any forward gears. Reverse works perfectly. I was wondering what I could look for in the valve body area that could cause this, before re pulling this transmission for a third time to look for burnt up clutches inside.

Why is my Trans bad on my 4L60E?

Trans seems noisy when moving in 1st and Reverse, noise goes away instantly if you shift to N or the transmission goes into 3rd gear: Reaction planetary is worn out due to high miles or insufficient lubrication. Not a critical failure, but not a good sign either.

What causes the reverse clutch to go out on a 4L60E?

It can also be caused by the sun shell breaking. The most common problem is probably going to be the low reverse clutch pack. The booster valve could also be an issue. Below is a pretty good video on common causes of 4L60E reverse going out. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

When did the GM 4L60 E transmission come out?

The 4L60-E is the “E”lectronically shift controlled version of the 4L60. The Late 4L60-E was released in 1997 in and fully phased into wide use through GM by 1998 in both RWD car platforms (including the C6 Corvette) and trucks in both 2wd and 4wd configurations.

What kind of transmission does a GM 4L60 have?

The 4L60, along with many transmissions of its generation, was controlled by a hydraulic system. This means that a series of valve pressures made the transmission shift gears. GM made the jump to electronic shifting control with the 4L60E ( E lectronic shifting control).

What happens when Shift Solenoid goes bad in 4L60E?

Inconsistent Shifting– Often when a shift solenoid goes bad in the 4L60E, it’ll cause a lot of erratic shift behavior. The transmission will skip gears. It also may act like it is trying to “find the right gear”.
