    Thanks for reply. No it's rather low, feels kind of normal shift, I can take it to around 50, let up and then accelerate and still won't shift.. also it's a 1994 Silverado. hopeing it's just an electrical problem, is there a modual valve as on the older ones. Thanks, Jim

    My check engine light came on.
    And the very next day my transmission will not shift into 3rd gear.
    Everything else is fine.

It just holds 2nd forever. Is the 1-2 shift point high?

  • Anonymous Mar 25, 2009

    Do you know what trans you have? 4L60E? If it just holds 2nd it sounds like a shift solenoid stuck on or a stuck shift valve. Do you have a check engine light? You could try unplugging the transmission connector. Passenger side rear or trans. This should force the transmission to stay in 3rd. (both solenoids off). Sorry 4L60E has no modulator or TV cable, Pressure and shift points are controlled by the computer.

I have a 98 chevy silverado. My transmission only has 2nd,3rd and reverse if you manually put it into 1st it still has 2nd gear in 1st&2nd gear and 3rd gear works in 3rd and drive only. Nothing higher

Remove trans pan and inspect shift solenoids. These are prone to come apart and visual inspection often finds the problem. Replacement units include a bracket to keep this from happening again.

If it is under warranty, THEY NEED TO FIX IT! Never trust lazy salesman or dealer personal. Any how, it sounds like your clutch or trans is slipping and might have "grinder teeth" in trans... Last suggestion,flush trans fluid and add Lucas additive to oil

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 z71 it has a 4l60-e trans want shift out of 1st gear until around 5500rpms and you hold it and will not shift out of 2nd gear when in 2nd gear and when I try to drop down...

If you have used the vehicle like that for as little as
a few days, you stand little chance of saving the trans
from a complete rebuild

You need a trans shop or a place you like & trust to
road test & diagnose

I think your beyond a solenoid or module fix, since
you have been using it & it slips as well ,instead of
proper shifting

My 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WHLDR 5.3L transmission slips from 2500 rpm's in second gear and will not shift into 3rd

Is there anyway you can pull a code? Because it can be solenoid related,for this type of transmission the speed sensor (VSS) is prone to do this,also how is the transmission fluid is it brownish or dark dark burnt , because if it is its a mechanical failure.I can pull a code if in T.O

My chevy trans is stuck in first it won't sheft.

sounds like the governor gear is stripped ( Its plastic). The governor has weights and springs that spin. When the weights spinning overcome the spring tension,as you excellerate it opens a valve telling the trans to shift. ....I had the same problem on my Chevy van...... this is a very cheap fix at a honest mechanic shop .
