4L60E no 2nd gear

Sounds like you broke your reaction sunshell, no tools required to R&R a trans. You could have it rebuilt with a beast sunshell or get an aftermarket transmission already built for the power you're pushing. Check out FLT transmission's website.

Thanks. I have researched and yes, it seems the sunshell is broke, from what the symptoms are. I have checked out FLT already. they are only 180 miles to the north of me. Even their lowest end model $$ 1595 is beefed up pretty good.
I could have a local replaced the sunshell and new rebuult kit for just a little less and would not be as strong as a FLT 4l60. I do not track race, but I can drive it hard sometimes.

Special tools, What I was asking is, does it take any special tools to take one of those 4L60's out of a LS1 truck? I noticed the bell housing bolts are awful close, and look hard to get to. What does most of you do to get those upper bell housing bolts out? from the top or bottom somehow? special wrenches sockets ETC?

thanks

Remove drive shaft. Remove shift cable, electrical connections, and cooler lines. Remove y-pipe. Remove starter and remove three converter bolts. Pull trans cross member and let it sag a little. Use a 3' extension and remove the bell housing bolts. I believe two of the bolts also hold a harness clip so there will be an extra nut on the bolt then you can loosen the bolt. Then separate the trans from the block and remove from truck.
