The engine was not a match from the same building codes as yours. computerized engine swaps must be exact swaps or problems will arise such as yours

Having trouble going into 4 wheel drive in a 1998 ford ranger xlt

The transfer case (7A195) is equipped with a magnetic clutch, similar to an air conditioning compressor clutch, which is located inside the transfer case adjacent to the lockup sleeve. The clutch is used to spin up the front drive system from zero to vehicle speed in milliseconds. This spin-up allows the shift between 2H and 4H to be made at vehicle speeds listed in the vehicle owner's guide. The spin-up engages the front lock hubs. When the transfer case rear and front output shaft reach synchronous speed, the spring-loaded shift collar mechanically engages the mainshaft lockup hub to the chain-drive sprocket and the magnetic clutch is then deactivated. Shifts between 4H and 4L can only occur with the transmission safety switches closed. The vehicle's speed must also be within specified limits as determined by the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The electronic shift control system consists of a rotary switch control system, a GEM, a transfer case shift motor (7G360) with an integral shift position sensor, a clutch pedal position switch or digital transmission range (DTR) sensor, and a brake signal input switch.
There is a control switch located on the instrument panel for fingertip shift control.

Switch Control System
When the switch on the instrument panel is turned, there is a one second delay, then the electronic control module verifies the transfer case positions (2H, 4H or 4L). Next, the GEM looks at the shift position sensor and the digital transmission range (DTR) sensor or clutch pedal position switch (depending on transmission type) and brake pedal switch. If all conditions are correct to allow the desired shift, the electronic control module will tell the transfer case shift motor to execute the shift. After the shift has been made and the transfer case shift motor is off, the control module again looks at the shift position sensor to make sure the proper shift has been accomplished. Finally, the dash indicator light on the control panel will be illuminated by a signal from the GEM indicating the desired shift has been completed.
GEM
The generic electronic module controls the operation of the transfer case in response to inputs to the rotary control by the vehicle operator, the shift position sensor, the transmission range sensor and the brake pedal switch.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) (9E731) generates an AC signal which is sent to the instrument cluster (10849). The signal is used as input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and the transmission control module (TCM).
Shift Position Sensor
The shift position sensor, an integral part of the electric shift motor, tells the GEM module the shift position of the transfer case.
Electric Shift Motor
The electric shift motor, mounted externally at the rear of the transfer case, drives a rotary helical cam which moves the 2W-4W shift fork and 4H-4L reduction shift fork to the selected vehicle drive position.

does it jump out of gear or just doesn't go into gear in the first place ?
  • 4-Wheel Drive Transfer Case Jumps Out of Gear
  • Incomplete shift linkage travel.
  • ADJUST linkage to provide complete gear engagement. ADJUST shift gearshift lever boot.
  • Loose mounting bolts.
  • TIGHTEN mounting bolts.
  • Front and rear driveshaft slip yokes dry or loose.
  • LUBRICATE and REPAIR slip yokes as required. TIGHTEN flange yoke attaching nut to specifications.
  • Internal components.
  • DISASSEMBLE transfer case. INSPECT sliding clutch hub and gear clutch teeth for damage. REPLACE as required.

Why is automatic transmission hard to shift?

Hard shifting in an auto trans is usually related to loss of vacuum or low transmission fluid.

Depending on the vehicle it's also possible there is an issue with the lockup converter. There is usually a solenoid in the transmission itself that controls the lockup on the converter and they tend to fail.

What causes aChevrolet z71 to not shift into overdrive and take off in 2nd gear after I change my transmission out 5.3 liter motor with a 4l60e transmission 4-wheel Drive

If you are lucky, bad shift solenoid (common failed part) may cause it to start in second. Other problem of no overdrive (ie: no torque converter lockup) could be as simple as misadjusted brake pedal switch or TCC solenoid. Where did you get this apparently bad transmission?

97 blazer trans fuse shorted out truck won't start

In many instances one of the solenoids for the lockup converter or other wise will short out inside the transmission and since they are usually direct power you will get a surge back through the line and it can blow fuses. I have had them blow the fuse to the stereo which is direct wired to maintain memory for the stations and clock. Trace the lockup wire, disconnect it, replace all blown fuses, check for all locations and then try starting the motor. If it runs then you need to have someone service the trans and change the solenoid that is shorted. This will not be able to be done at a quick lube shop, it must be a transmission shop or automotive shop.

I have a 1995 Buick Century 6 cyl. The transmission shifts smoothly and into 4th gear but when I get to about 55 mph it shifts back into 3rd gear by itself and won't go back into 4th gear. What is...

Fourth gear in your vehicle doesn't exist. What feels like a fourth gear is the torque converter locking up. The lockup lockup is controlled by a solenoid in the side pan of the transmission, and the solenoid is controlled by the ECM (electronic control module) in response to several pressure, temperature and speed sensors etc. To determine which component is the problem you'll need a professional transmission mechanic with the proper diagnostic equipment.

My GMC has 311632 miles on it. I just changed the 4L60E transmission a few months ago and now it wont shift out of first unless I manually put it in second gear. all the gears from park rev. nuetral works...

The transmission may be in Limp mode. The transmission is on the same fuse as the MAF, O2 sensors and at least one other sensor - if an O2 shorts out, it will blow the fuse and the trans will go into limp-home mode. Be sure the trans has power and the fuse is not blown before doing anything else.

What is "limp-home mode" ? This is a fault mode in which the transmission either loses electrical power or the PCM deactivates all of the electronics. The transmission will default to max line pressure. The driver will have Reverse and 3rd, with manual 2nd available by putting the gearshift in 2 or 1 (doesn't matter). 1st, 4th, and TCC lockup will not be available. It will not hurt the car to drive it like this for short periods, but use manual 2nd to get the car moving, and be aware that the trans will generate more heat than normal while operating in limp-home mode due to increased torque converter slippage during 2nd gear starts and no lockup in 3rd gear.

Trans does not upshift out of first, speedometer reads zero at all times: VSS failure. Easy fix on rear of transmission, but xmember must come out to access VSS.

Car goes into gear but feels very sluggish like the brakes are dragging, but it will roll easily (starts out in 4th gear), you manually shift to 2 to get it moving, once it's moving you put it back in OD and the car shifts 3rd to 4th on its own and locks the converter at the appropriate time: ShiftB solenoid failed: Easy fix in the pan. Or a wiring problem from PCM to trans.. or PCM.

No 1st or 4th available; trans shifts 2nd to 3rd by itself in D or OD and locks the converter : ShiftA solenoid failed. Easy fix in the pan. Or a wiring problem from PCM to trans.. or PCM.

Transmission does not shift automatically, only manually. Swap in a known-good PCM, check wiring, check other sensors such as VSS and TPS.

3rd gear starts, can manually shift through all gears. When car has been turned off for a bit, then back on it will run normally.: VSS dropoff w/ Hi-stall converter. The rpms are too high, but VSS is showing no movement. Happens after a tire burning take-off. Doesn't store a code, will not throw a CEL (I've heard that it will store a code if it happens 3 or more times). Cure: Reprogram PCM for VSS dropoff -- PCMforLess knows about it.

Here are just some of the common things you have described with the issues your transmission has. Good luck and keep me posted.

Trans shifts into gear harshly, car feels sluggish off the line
, No 1st, 4th or TCC lockup available, Manual 2nd, 3rd and Reverse are only available gears, CEL is on: Transmision is either in limp-home mode or has lost electrical power. If there are lots of error codes in the PCM, check the underhood fuse that powers the transmission, and if it pops again, look for a short in that circuit like an O2 sensor harness touching exhaust. Otherwise, check PCM codes for a particular fault in the transmission causing the PCM to put it in limp-home mode.

Car goes into gear but feels very sluggish like the brakes are dragging, but it will roll easily (starts out in 4th gear), you manually shift to 2 to get it moving, once it's moving you put it back in OD and the car shifts 3rd to 4th on its own and locks the converter at the appropriate time: ShiftB solenoid failed: Easy fix in the pan.

1994 Caprice LT1 (Ohio Highway patrol vehicle in past). Vehicle vibrates when in 4th gear/lockup. Can play with accelerator and get vehicle vibration smothed out. Certain speeds worst than others 64MPH...

It sound like it's the Torque Converter clutch is worn and needs to be replaced, or your transmission fluid pressure is low. check the transmission fluid level and condition of the fluid, Make sure it's not burnt and has no bubbles in it. Take it to a transmission shop for a transmission oil and filter service and have them do a transmission fluid line test and have them scan the transmission with a tech 2 scanner. The Tech 2 scanner can reprogram the transmission for a higher line pressure and change the shift patterns if needed. An other thing too is to have the 4L60E transmission you have, get a servo swapped out with a corvette servo. The cost is $45.00 for the servos and takes about 30 min to do with out dropping the valve body. Good luck and hope this helps. keep me posted, be glad t help

Transmission shifts hard

Your car has the 125c/3T40 model trans,3 speed automatic with lockup.When you say you unplugged the "speedometer",if you are referring to a square electrical connector on the trans,facing the radiator,that connector is not the speedometer,but the lockup circuit inside the transmission.It is likely the lockup solenoid inside the side pan has gone bad and is malfunctioning.It is a common problem on those transmissions.You will lose some gas mileage by unhooking the connector,and eventually,years down the road,will hurt the trans from the fluid running too hot.Lockup clutch application in a General Motors lockup torque convertor helps to cool the fluid.
