TRansmission problem

PhatMpk · November 22, 2011, 05:54:43 PM

Tranny will not shift into reverse or drive or any other gear except neutral??!? Linkage seems to be ok rolled up to a red light in drive and the trans will not engage into drive or reverse but shifts into neutral any suggestions as to what I can do?

would the torque convertor cause this or would the transmission itself be bad?

Before you get into parts how did this car drive before? How long has it sat etc.

had some tc shutter for awhile, this car has been my daily driver for the past 6 years, motor was running strong down the freeway, came up to a red light after exiting the freeway and have nothing but a free rev after coming to a hault

the car rolls when it is put into neutral but wheels lock up and free revs when put into drive or reverse, trans would drive fine up to this point

The shudder that was happening prior to this could have been two other things though. 1 a failing transmission pump, and 2 possible snapped band. I had two fail due to the second issue. Not trying to sound stupid here but did you check your fluid level?

yup changed the at fluid and filter bout at least 10k miles ago, atm I have about a foot a working space on each side of the car in the garage, so I am looking for a new home for my baby

or If anyone from here needs parts I am willing to part this car out for the time being as I dont have the cash for a new trans. Turbo and motor are still running strong at 149k this is a California car all its life with no rust whatsoever on the frame body engine parts. I have owned since 92k and have kept up with all the maintence myself.

Sucks it has to be that way. If I was already at my new job I would help you out and keep it rolling. I have the parts to boot and on the trans I would rebuild it myself. There was a transmission posted on here a while back for $200 you might consider if the member still has it I think it had 20K on the rebuild.

Fo sho I'm bout to keep this car and got a new job :) so I'll be back on the road soon enough

Hell yeah! Congratulations and glad you changed your mind.

The transmission shop says I can use any 4t60 to replace it for now is this the case?

GutlessSupreme · December 11, 2011, 03:46:58 PM

A normal 4T60 will asplode. I don't know how long it will take, but it will, sooner than later.

Shifter23 · December 11, 2011, 05:51:54 PM

Do not waste the effort with a 4T60. Look at finding one used through a member or get yours rebuilt or even beefed up.

My car likes me now the Transmission started working normal out of the blue haven't had any issues with it the past few days
