Trans questions (Allen)

[kevindepot]

Over the last 3 days my trans has started having 2 different shifts. When I 1st installed the tune (about a week and a 1/2 ago) it shifted a little harder and faster. It still shifts like that most of the time.
The other shift is HARD, and I mean real hard. 1-2 shift at 3000 rpm will bark the tires same with 2-3 shift. 3-2 shift when flooring it will roast the tires. The only way to get it back to what I think is the "normal" programmed shift is to shut off the truck then restart it. I have noticed that it will go into "hard shift mode" some times when I get on it then back off just before it shifts. But not all the time. So is this a sign that my trans is going out? Thanks

I do have another tune going out to you, how about we see if this one fixes it?

[kevindepot]

I saw that. Thanks
It's the strangest damn thing. But kind of cool at the same time. To be able to get 2nd and 3ed gear with my little 4.8. If I could just get it to shift like that only when I wanted it to. lol. But I think it will either break the trans or U-joint if it keeps this up. My old 69' Camaro with a built turbo 400 didn't shift this hard.

LOL, ok, thanks for the update, I guess just take it easy on the shifting until you get it,

talk to you later,

Allen, did you stiffen the shifts on my PCM? I finally got over 1000 miles on the new motor/transmission and decided to romp on mine the other day and it really slammed 2nd gear hard. Now it only has 1st and 3rd. I guess it's time to replace a 2/4 band on a fresh rebuilt tranny.

Dude that dont sound like a band to me. It sounds like a sun shell or the sun gear. I tore up both last year on my tranny but I lost overdrive and rev....Zed

[RedHeartbeat]

mine still drives just fine but only 1st and 3rd and reverse gears work now. No more 2nd or 4th. It blows to destroy a new tranny. Who rebuilds a strong 2002 4L60E in the Denton area? I hear the internals have all the hard parts in the 02 tranny except it still has the 4 gear suns not the 5 gear.
I had been taking it easy on everything since the engine and trans were both redone prior to the install. The trans had 8k on it and I had a 300mm input drum installed and all clutch packs were in such good shape that they still had the part number printed in ink on the clutch faces.

[storm5.3]

Go to transmissioncenter.net that should answer some questions and I think your closer to them then I am. I wanted to get the full built version but the little women couldn't see me spending the cash when my dad rebuilds em on the side. So I found as many of the parts on a one day trip to H-town and got her runnin the next day then just ordered the wake up kit. Man I should of waited and ordered more parts but I needed my truck for work...Zed
