Why is my 4L60E not shifting into overdrive?

As the 4L60E ages, one of the most common problems that it develops is that it won’t shift into overdrive anymore. Without overdrive, your vehicle turns into a time machine and takes you back to an era where it was the norm for a vehicle to scream down the highway at 3000 RPM.

Why do my RPMs go high and my mph go low?

When you put transmission fluid in and it’s low, after you run the engine with it in gear it can pump a bunch of air out of the system and then you are low again. Try filling it, running it and putting it in various gears to drive air out, then filling it again.

What to do if your automatic transmission is not working?

That will get you into the proper fill level. If the problem does not go away, pull out the transmission dip stick (please tell me you have one) and see if the fluid is a nice bright red. If it’s getting dark or if it smells burnt, then you have a bigger problem internal to the transmission.

Why does my car not shift into third gear?

Such a problem is automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear. The transmission shifts into the first and then to second gear but does not move into the third gear. It seems that the gear slips into neutral when you push it to the third. Another instance could be the automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear at all.

How to fix when automatic transmission won’t shift into?

The PCM will have no input if the speed sensor fails. In that case, the transmission will not shift properly. To solve this problem, you have to check the speedometer to see that it is functioning. Otherwise, replacing the VSS could be the solution. Tsukasa Azuma is an awesome car blogger of Car From Japan.

What does it mean when your computer wont shift to fourth?

If it won’t, that means that the computer has either entered into limp mode (discussed directly below) or that it has a trouble code that is keeping it from shifting into fourth. The best thing you can do is plug a code scanner in and see what issues may be going on with it.

Other simple things to check. Make sure your overdrive is on, Drive on the highway at highway speed, and with the engine warmed up, press the button several times, rpm should change. turn your heater on full blast, for a few minutes and see if the air is hot. If not then it could be a coolant temp sensor gone bad.

What to do if your transmission is hard shifting?

To determine if the transmission itself is the cause of hard shifting, remove the shift lever or linkage from the top of the transmission. Then, move the shift blocks into each gear position using a pry bar or screwdriver. If the yoke bars slide easily, the trouble is with the linkage assembly.

Can you use the 94 program on a 95 Impala?

Just using the ’94 program SHOULD work. However the ’95 program has a few options that the ’94 doesn’t have. Ed Wright was offering to change the transmission code in the PCM for LT1 Edit users. He MAY still do this if you have LT1 Edit.

Is the PWM in the Chevy Impala 95?

In 95 a PWM torque converter lockup solenoid was introduced. It’s not there on the 94 trans. You will have torque converter lockup issues. I think, but am not 100% sure, that the PWM issue would be solved by simply taking the PCM to GM and have them flash in the “base” code for a 94 LT1 9C1 in it.
