    '94 4T60-e shifting problem

    It has been having shift problems from 1 to 2. EVERY other gear works perfect. even the down shift from 2 to 1 is perfect....just the upshift is delayed like a MOTHERFUCKER.

    here is a quick vid...I was at...maybe...40% throttle at the most....should have shifted at 2500 RPM....then when it did shift at 4k, it rev'd up before going to second. If I get to 15mph or so, throw it into N, then back to drive it will fall in to second or third, whatever is normal for that speed/throttle input, and work fine. If I go WOT, it will bounce off the rev limiter about 15 times before it will shift.

    It did this a few times before I left for Toledo this past weekend, now it's every time.

    Leander helped me rebuild this ~9K miles ago....I was really hoping for a trouble free trans for a long time.

    any ideas?









    Just drove it again tonight.....the more I think about it, I wonder if the line going to the accumulator came off so it's not getting enough pressure to shift on time......or maybe the shim I have inside the 1-2 is blocking something...or a spring broke.... Every other shift is fine....just the 1-2 upshift is delayed.


    Thoughts?

    I had the same problem but never looked into it. I would think if the accumulator line was off or something happened to that, it would mess up every gear and just the 1-2 upshift. Maybe its a shift solonoid?

    Easiest thing to do at this point is pull out the accumulator assy and check for broken springs or a seal/ gasket issue
