No reverse after rebuild on 4L60E Transmission from 1995 GMC Sono

I rebuilt the trans (4l60E) in my 1995 GMC Sonoma and forward gears work but no reverse? Also has a slight whine in Drive?

    i have a 1992 chevy silverado 4x4 stepside truck and when in forward it shifts perfect, but has no reverse at all, when i put it in reverse its like i have it in neutral, has no leaks or and other problems that i know of,,,,,, i have been told that on the 700r4 trannies, the low gear and reverse work off the same clutch, so why is it that it shifts and works fine in forward but no reverse??? the truck has a 3.4l v6 with auto tranny, and 4wd works fine as well, any help will be greatly appreciated,,,,, one more thing, can i replace that 700r4 with a different tranny, is there a better tranny that'll replace it??????????

There isn't a modulator on this trans as it is electronic

You can have first gear going forwrd but no reverse. It is possible. The low/ reverse clutch isn't needed to go forward.

1999 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 with a 5.3 motor. My 4l60e transmission has no reverse or second gear.

Rather than swapping out, why not get the one you have repaired and rebuilt? Doing swaps with other model years only works reliably a year either way because of changes in the electronics.

I HAVE A 2000 GMC 4L60E TRANS.ALL FORWARD GEARS WORK OK AND REVERSE WILL ONLY WORK WHEN I FIRST START IT.WONT GO IN REVERSE AFTER IT WARMS UP?

the reverse clutches are going bad in the trans or your fluid need to be fully flushed out and filter needs to be changed and just a suggestion use a quart of lucas transmission fluid in your transmission

4l60e automatic tranny rebuild issues

I have also personally seen/fixed a 4L60E that had a broken reverse servo piston,it is the piece that engages the low/reverse band under a cover in the valve body area,a piston with a band engagement pin. Anyone that has this problem can have it repaired in the vehicle,its worth checking BEFORE replacing the trans unless the fluid is burn't or there are other symptoms present. Good luck and hope this helps. keep me posted, be glad to help

Rebuilt the Trans.(4L60E) in my 1995 GMC Sonoma PU and after installing it I have no reverse? What went wrong? all forward gears work fine. Also seems like there is a slight whining noise in forward...

did you do the rebuild or did a shop do it? it sounds like the clutches werernt done properly. if the reverse is out the other gears will go out too if driven too far in that condition,
