4L65E Transmission, Torque Converter Problems

if its reving higher before changing its possiblely the clutch band not holding the drum for it to change, if so thats a reasonablely quick and cheap fix since a clutch band is only around 30 bucks and its behind the pump at the front of the tranny so you dont have to tear the whole tranny down. i would drain the fluid and check to see if there is any friction material in it. thatd be something you can do in your drive way and atleast get a idea of where to look

Alright. Thanks man. CAn I get a more beefy one so it doesnt happen again? I can't afford the 6l80e right now so I'd like to make due with the 65 till then.

yep, they sell them with a more durable material just like the clutches.

Do you know of any manufacterers that make the beefy ones?
