Hello,
I have a 4l60e I'm rebuilding in my 1993 K1500. It is my second rebuild, after just doing one in my 1995 Suburban K1500. I felt a little more confident this time but already somethings are different. First, I have been babying this transmission for years. It seems like 4th gear was slipping so I drove it in D3 for the past ~5 years. Last weekend 2nd gear is no longer holding, So I can drive 1st, let it basically skip over 2nd and then 3rd is ok. I purchased the truck used probably 12 years ago and was told the trans was rebuilt. Also this one starts with a 4 on the case so should be a 1994 4l60e.
1) Does it make sense that 4th and 2nd would share a problem? (My plan is just to rebuild and not worry much about this.)
2) On disassembly I noticed a check ball is missing. I believe it is the 1-2 clutch apply piston check ball. I expected to at least find it in the pan but so far I have not. Is it common for a re-builder to leave this ball out? Should I put a ball back in here? Any tips on replacement?
Here is a picture in case I have the name wrong.
Thank You,
Leo
