4L60E Transmission Hard Shift? Check This first!

A cheap and easy fix if your 4L60E automatic trans is shifting hard or shifting late. Most common is a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear.

Bro you saved me thousands. For all the others reading. Not on transmission. On throttle body. But yeah I love YouTube. And ppl like you that post to help out others. Thumbs up to you mann.

This actually really helped my 94 GMC 1500. I was shocked at how much smoother it shifts

I replaced the throttle position sensor on my 95 GMC Sierra 1500. Afterwards my truck wouldn't start. Luckily I had seen another You Tube video that led me to believe the new sensor wasn't getting along with the old ignition control module. I bought a new module and replaced the old one and the truck started right up. And yes, the new throttle position sensor fixed my transmission's hard shift. I'm a very happy DIY'er!!!

Normally don’t comment on these but I swear I just did this and he’s not lying it’s legit thanks bro much gratitude.

I have a 2010 GMC Sierra and it's been hard shifting for years. I replaced the throttle body and TPS with a Hitachi brand. Been driving it for two days so it can relearn the idle. No hard-shifting yet and it feels like a new truck so far. I'll come back and post an update in a couple of months. Great video thank you so much this really helped.

My Astro was bucking/jerking especially after 50mph. Found this vid and ordered a new TPS. Kinda tricky with the Astro but got it done. Although I didn't disconnect the battery. Totally fixed the problem! Thank you!!

Wow. I knew throttle body cables had some to do with transmission but never thought my problem could be this. Thank you. I will try it.

Thank you for posting this video! I just replaced my TPS and you were 100% correct. My hard shift from 1st to second has been solved! It wasn’t my transmission at all. I went into this thinking screw it if I replace the TPS and nothing happens nbd. But it really worked and you saved me a fuck load in time money and energy. I hope you continue to put out good content. Keep up the great work you are doing. 👍

[erickollman]

I replaced this on my ‘98 camaro ss and it fixed the problem! With shipping it was like $11. Saves me tons! Thank you!

9/2018 - Confirmed. I just swapped mine and it was the right solution. Thank you brother.

Another thing if your 4l60E looses a gear do a pan drop and replace the filter and add lucas. Then if the problem persists replace Solenoids

So happy I found this video 1st I just changed it made a big difference and I was about to drop my transmission

[michaeltillison]

Wanted to take a moment and thank you for this video... !!! My 1993 2500 Suburban was shifting just fine until I washed the engine, after the wash it was like my transmission was all messed up doing the hard shifting and not even shifting to higher gears... I replaced the part you talked about and it is shifting fine again... Anyway, thank you so much, greatly appreciate you took the time to share this video... PS not a good idea to wash down an old engine lol

Having same problem with '06 Escalade with electronic TB. Just bought original AC Delco Professional for $50. No need to try to save on cheap Chinese aftermarket one. Will see if that helps. I'm on my 3rd transmission. All of them had this magical shift slip in the 2nd gear. Transmission guys kept my money but didn't and couldn't offer solution. I was about to fk up my 3rd transmission which I just chanhed 3 months ago. Will keep posted if it helps. Part will take 2 weeks to arrive here. I'm in Georgia, Europe. Thanks for the video.

[jeremiahephrim]

Thank you very much it worked for me and saved me a lot of money I was gonna buy a new transmission for no reason 👍🏻

The only Issue with the 4L60E that I've ran into was the Sunshield!!
They can Snap at very low speeds shifting into or downshifting.
If it snaps?? You need a whole new rebuild! I just got mine rebuilt as a HD 4L60E. $2500 on my 2002 Blazer ZR2 with a new Torque Converter.
I also Replaced the Camshaft Position Sensor & all 02 Sensors. They through a Check Engine Code. Runs like new with 300k miles on her & looks beautiful with zero rust here in TX

I plan on fixing my 4l60e by pusing 400+ whp thru it and seeing how long it lasts
