. Having problems with the shifting in your 4 l60e transmission? This transmission is very common in a lot of GM SUVs, trucks, vans, and midsize pickups. It's even found in some cars. Dennis video I will help you diagnose to see if your shift solenoids are bad and need to be replaced. Go ahead and ignore these and move on to something else in your diagnosis to find your miss shift. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Sir. I have a yukon denali 05 after changing the transmission fluid my transmission don't have first and 4th gear I changed both shift solenoids but the issue is still the same please help me and give me some ideas what possibly went wrong

@markfothebeast Год назад

I've only tested via the PCM wire harness pins and fuse terminal at this time. The 1-2 solenoid is within spec but the 2-3 solenoid is showing a lesser resistance of 4.2 ohms. I'm confused as to what would create less resistance. Perhaps the ground wire is grounding to something other than the PCM?

@lordtator 5 лет назад

Hi Scottie. I have a 2000 model year 4WD 4l60e that came from a Tahoe. The transmission will not shift into third but instead will go from 1st to 2nd then downshift back to 1st instead of 3rd. I haven’t experienced any slipping just the weird shift pattern. I dropped the pan and the fluid is burnt. I checked the solenoids and the resistance is in range and they passed the clicking test. Could this be a lost 3-4 clutch pack?

@tt-fn1qq 3 года назад

The video was of great helped, I was wondering if the was a way to check the A,B shift solenoids. I've seen video for Torque Converter Clutch(TCC) Solenoids. I figured since the solenoids look different, on the other videos, I did not think the same method would apply. Actually the methods we slightly different, you used a 9 volt battery and the other used the car battery. Now knowing, I can use a 9 volt battery, I understand even more why the guy said, if the solenoid gets hot it goes bad. The car battery is too strong to hold, the car battery voltage, to the solenoids continuously. Very quickly would work since all we need is to hear the click, which sounds on contact.

Hello. I have a 96 chevy caprice. It went into limp mode yesterday evening. I Went to autozone and oriellys this morning with a check engine light and they gave the same code P1886 for bad shift solenoids. I changed out both and Refilled with fluid only to have the same problems. And after testing solenoids, they both pass tests.

@jaybourbon8608 3 года назад

I have a 2006 gmc sierra 1500 5.3. I'm getting sluggish shifts from first to second. Worse so on slower speeds or less load. Not really noticing it in tow mode. I just threw a flowmaster muffler on it and I don't know if it has anything to do with back pressure but I didn't notice it before.

@themoistoyster1065 3 года назад

On my 2006 Subaru Forester 2.5 xt limited. I was getting on the highway today and I noticed my car revving to almost 4000 in second gear when it should have shifted like normal I had to let off the gas for it to shift. Also almost every time when I start driving my car for the day (after letting it warm up) it will shift 1 to 2 then shift to 3 early then shift back almost immediately.

@jeremyc7810 5 лет назад

I have a 98 s10 blazer. I'm not sure if it is a 4l60e or 4l60. My question is I have all forward gears cold or normal driving conditions. But with my reverse it won't do anything until the transmission is warm. What do you think can cause this?

@markbillups1945 4 года назад

Like the video. Working on a GMC Sierra 1500 4.8l 4x4 auto 4l60e and its having up shift issues from 1 to 2. I'm having to let of the gas to shift. Usually tries 2nd and immediately heads to 3rd I can then gas up and get back down to 2nd. When really throttling it opens up and drops down to first hard. 3rd will release too when throttling as it tries to drop down and then it revs through the roof. Working on diagnosing before I get into it. I've just seen one of your vids on testing the solenoids and am stoked I can drop the pan and check them with a meter. Love to know of ove got the 187 pressure issue via diagnostic test. My clutch packs may be gone. Been reading about a low pressure issue or 187 code. I've got some learning to do. Keep up the videos. Thanks for the support. 😎

@ScottiesHobbies 2 года назад

I believe you are dealing with a AOD trans if I remember correctly. That is a different beast than the transmission shown in this video. Generally if you have no movement I would start looking at the pump. Is the pump not getting fluid? Is the pump not pumping fluid? Or the transmission lines clogged? Something like that.

Hi Scottie, I have a 06 gmc sierra 2500 hd, 4L80E transmission. I have shifting issues only when towing my 4000lb. Boat up a large hill toward the top which is the steepest, then after that hill, no problem. toward top I drop in the 30 mph. Range and it won't downshift, stays in 3rd I got a po730(incorrect gear ratio) code many times. And 1 time I got a po757 along with the po730, could that be a shift solenoid. Or a dirt shift valve, being that it shifts fine without towing anything?

Overhauled tbi,new flexplate,filter n fluid for trans. Motor with new oil pump, waterpump, intake manifold gasket ect. Issue is wanting to shift out way to early and when prompted with accelerator pedal seems to drop into to low of a gear then right back to 4th or overdrive to soon and repeating its self till higher speed is reached then seems fine.

How did you know it was a check ball in the accumulator that was leaking like you said around the 5:45 mark and caused the 3-4 clutch pack to go bad? I'm having a similiar issue. 2002 s10 4.3 4x4 with 4l60e. It will shift from first to second, but not to third. The valve body and all solenoids have been replaced as well as the ecm. It temporarily shifted after replacing the ecm, but then went back to not shifting into third gear. Pulling the transmission fuse puts it in third gear "limp mode" as expected. Any help is appreciated!

@ScottiesHobbies 2 года назад

Only way to test the check ball is by taking the pump off and manifold off. If you drip fluid into the check ball, it should not go into the case.

I have a 2003 chevy trailblazer. It wouldn't shift from 2nd to 3rd. I took off the trans oil pressure switch.( the o-ring marked D3 was disfigured) As I was changing the press switch I removed the shift solenoids. When I replaced the shift solenoids I may have switched them because they are identical. Now I get all the way to 3rd gear and can't get to 4th or drive or over drive (5th). I'm thinking it could be the shift solenoids. As I said the o-ring for 3rd was broken so no loss but now I plan to replace the shift solenoids and I'll write back if it works.

@ScottiesHobbies 5 лет назад

Really could be either or both. I would plan on getting to the 1-2 accumulator. Wile doing that I would check the shift solenoids resistance, clean the shift valves while looking for debris, check the wiring harness for continuity, and check the accumulator piston and shaft bore. You'll probably find a issue with one of those components.

Unless it has a 4l60e, no.

What about an epc solenoid for a 2006 expedition?

@usigninn9454 4 года назад

Could you please expand on your diagnosis at 5:22? I have no 3 or 4 at all. None. If the 3-4 clutch pack was toast, wouldn't it smell that way and the fluid be looking on the burnt side of red?

@jnstrcklnd 3 года назад

Same on my 1993 Silverado. Thats why Im here. Any ideas?

@youGooglin 3 года назад

Yeah but I'll have to tell u later. When i run up to 50 in 2nd & shit to n, I coast with less drag Than 3 or 4. When coasting downhill at 50 in n when I pull it down to 4 or 3,, I can feel it drop into those gears & start slowing me down more than I was in n. You?

I’ve got an 04 Tahoe I put a fresh rebuilt 4l60e in it with new fluid,converter, and neutral safety switch only to find out that the reason I’ve only got 1st and reverse is cause a mouse chewed on a few wires under my fuse box and I believe shorted sumthing I’m sure it’s a long shot but has anyone got any ideas where I should start to try to fix this

Hey there!! 1993 k1500 4l60e in limp mode, watched this video to check my bases and rule out whatever I could. Both of my shift solenoids passed the 9v battery test, and they showed resistance anywhere from 27 ohms - 33 ohms. Do you think they could still be an issue given those numbers?? what do you think? Thanks, love your videos!!

@ScottiesHobbies 4 года назад

How was your oil pressure on the dash? Did you check the continuity in the harness? With the key on engine off I check for continuity at all of the connections. All connections should either have power or ground. So per se disconnect your shift solenoid A and check for continuity at the metal prongs on the harness. If you don't get any continuity then I would suspect that harnesses bad. What made you chase a transmission issue for a limp home mode? Did you have a code?

@jamesclark4544 4 года назад

@@ScottiesHobbies Nope, I did not have any code. when I was driving it one day it all of a sudden acted in neutral when I was in 3rd gear and it would only shift every once and awhile and got worse and worse until I had no 3rd gear at all, and I could only go 40mph if I manually went through 1 and 2, so I suspected transmission issue. my truck it OBD I, and I did have a service engine soon light but when I used the diagnosatics terminal to blink a code it wouldn't give me anything!! First, I checked transmission fluid level and smell, visually looked at the transmission and all the wiring to it and all the plugs to look for damage... then I ended up finding a wiring diagram from the PCM to the tranny, and checked all 12v wires going to the transmission with key on and off, then I checked the grounds. Next, I dropped the pan and found the fluid was a little milky and there was a lot of granules lining the bottom of the pan, which led me to belive a clutch pack is worn.... I did what you suggested as well and cheked the shift solenoids for resistance with them disconnected and found they had good continuity. Anyways, thank you for the information, you video and reply were extremely helpful!!!! I am a broke college student so the cheapest option was spending 3 days at a pick n pull pulling a transmission with lower miles and clean fluid. Hopefully it will work!!

@@jamesclark4544 did you ever figure out exactly what was wrong? Or just change it out with another? Cause I have a very similar situation, but my fluid was a little dark. With who ever had this truck before me I honestly don't think they did a lot of upkeep based on just a few things I've seen so far 😅 (literally put a damn bolt through the brake shoes instead of the post and spring lmao, among other things) so im hoping its just a nasty filter and fluid issue. I still gave to test my solenoids though so we will see! My oil pressure went all the way high the week before sonic changed the oil filter and it worked great for a few trips around town but exactly a week later I was driving and it just wouldn't go into 3rd, honestly felt like and sounded like it was in neutral. R 1ST 2ND and I drive it in od all work fine just wouldn't go up to 3rd and I never got to 4th to see if that's working or not either so idk. I also got no codes and my tran fuse in the cab is working too.

@moniquehitz6635 2 года назад

@chasees chasers I personally haven't and my truck is currently trying hard to fight for retirement 😅 though I did a "tcm reset" and she had zero issue getting into third...... until it warned up, but then if I slammed quick on the gas she would just go into 3rd like there wasn't an issue 🤦‍♀️ but there obviously is cause I can't just be driving around slamming the gas to go into 3rd lol look up how to do that reset and try it out though, it may work for you, never know!

@michaelwhitcomb307 4 года назад

1997 Silverado Z71 5.7L 4L60E... ONLY when trans is warmed up (driving for 20-30 minutes at around 55mph) trans has real hard shift from 1st to 2nd and a somewhat hard shift from 2nd to 3rd, can turn engine off wait 30secs and start engine and trans shifts normally again. 3-4 is good and shifting through PRND321 is good. This only happened after towing a trailer down the highway while in D (forgot to shift into 3 while towing) was told torque converter was toasted.

Should I replace my pwm solenoid 2-3 downshift and force motor along with shift solenoids?

@ScottiesHobbies 2 года назад

if it was mine and I had the extra money I'd get a wire harness with all the solenoids. Change it all at once. The DEX3 is getting to be $27 per gal. you don't want to be draining and filling that trans too much. Also look at the actuator. check the piston and the center hole for oblonging.

And kinda dumb question but would it do the same thing (not shifting past 2nd) in 4wd?

@ScottiesHobbies 2 года назад

Never a dumb question. Have you dropped the pan? Any clutch material in it? Really, it could be a number of things. Can you manually shift into 3rd or 4th? Depending on the milage. Your internal 3rd gear check ball might have gone bad.
