Transmission went out

[bigred1]

Mine went out completely in my Silverado on new years day. Going to order a Jasper this week I hope

I'm not for sure I want to ask how much that's gonna cost.

Keith's transmission seems to have a good reputation. For my 96 ford others quoted 3000 for a rebuild and he quoted 2400 with warranty.

Is 2nd gear out too? If so the sun shell may have shattered. I'd upgrade to a heavy duty sun shell either way while you are in there.

Are you saying he is in Jones? Maybe I can learn by helpin.

Yes. Jones America.

2nd is good but we'll swap that out too. Thanks

Anybody got a good 2002 4L60E automatic transmission laying around or do I have to crack this one open and see why reverse is out.

Check your fluid level levels. If you’re low on fluid reverse is the first thing to go.

Saw a YouTube video with a guy with no reverse in the vehicle. Made a device with rollers and chain that he could pull up on and then the back wheels would turn the rollers and he could back up.

The video was shared in post 8, and it’s an interesting concept.

Might need a good flush. Shifting solenoid probably stuck or dead. Sometimes you can flush them and get them unstuck.
Like someone else said, just don't park where you have to use reverse.

I drove a Chevy Luv without a starter for about a year when I was young and could push it on level ground.
It was a Manual Transmission.
I think it made me more aware of what kind of terrain I was in. Always park on a slope.
Then one day I got an extra $40.00 and changed the starter.
Was no big deal when I was 20 years old and single. Coors and Marlboro's were the priority.

Some additive to dissolve the crud may be in order.
My old 82 Bronco started slipping. It had over 300K miles on it.
Put some Lucas tranny additive in it, drove for a few miles and nothing changed.
Put it on the fence for a month, finally posting a sale ad.
Some guy wanted it. When they showed up, there was not enough fuel to get it where they wanted to drive it, slipping and all. They left to get fuel.
Fired it up to put it on the driveway. In the 200 yard drive, felt a clunk and it started driving without slipping.
Honored the steal deal and they drove it away.
