4l60 wont move in any gear
 
I drove my trans am from goose creek to beaufort then when i got to work i was playing a little and took off quick then the car revved up instead of going and now wont move in any gear. I hear a whine noise coming from the back of the engine. Pump? Convertor? any ideas? Im gonna pull a line to the trans cooler tomorrow to see if anything comes out and hopefully see if it is the pump or not.

Sounds like the pump went out to me.

Did you pull the dipstick and see how the fluid looked?

MonteC 03-26-2013 07:52 AM

Broke the pump. Common on 4l60e.

dkbmxer002 03-26-2013 08:19 AM

I just did that on our work truck -____- I swear I kill any transmission lol.

white99ta 03-26-2013 01:13 PM

Thanks for the input guys. Since the pump is broken do you think the converter would be mess up?

dkbmxer002 03-26-2013 01:19 PM

I'm sure one of the trans guys can chime in with the best answer but me personally, I'd have the converter cut open, inspected and clean just to be safe.

Throw a cam in it!

In the converter? ok but i dont think itll be good for it. haha I already have a cam in my car. A better one would be nice though. Right now im gonna try to find a new trans then maybe move to a new cam.

Ya I think that would be a good idea. Matt told me awhile back that Cameron rebuilt his converter, anyone have his number or his name on here?

Possibility. Only one way to find out.

torque converter services in Columbia.

white99ta 03-27-2013 12:38 AM

Anyone know of a 4l60e for sale? Im getting out of the Marines in 6 months and dont plan on spending all of my savings on one so nothing crazy.

Hahahaha no but word on the streets is that they're unbeatable.

white99ta 04-07-2013 07:54 PM

After researching this more I feel like its the converter. MonteC is going through the trans this week but do you guys think it could actually be the torque converter that is the problem? when it finally broke it felt like the trans was slipping a bit when first put in drive( not anytime after that). I would put it in drive and felt like something was spinning and didnt engage into gear until about 5 seconds later. So when I got back to work I stomped on the gas after it engaged and it gave up. It would just rev up in any gear and not move at all. Id like to know because I have a torque converter lined up but wont be around for long. Is there any way to tell if the converter is bad when its out other than cutting it open? I dont really have time to drive up to columbia to get it rebuilt. Thanks in advanced.

oldskoolstang 04-07-2013 08:25 PM

No way to tell without opening it up that I'm aware of. If you don't feel confident in the converter replace it before you put the trans back in.....Has he found anything wrong or broke in your transmission?

white99ta 04-07-2013 08:40 PM

No he's been busy and hasn't got to it yet.

LXtasy 04-07-2013 09:00 PM

If you are thinking it is the converter, and you are getting the transmission gone through. Why not replace*it with another?

white99ta 04-07-2013 09:14 PM

Because that takes money haha if it is my trans that is broken then all my money is going to that. I just don't have enough money for both but you do bring up a great point. Thanks for the input. I appreciate the help

I am sure when rob goes through it he will be the best to advise you on what to do.

You'll be in a worse spot if you fix the trans and don't have the stall checked and then kill your recently fixed trans with debris.

oldskoolstang 04-07-2013 10:12 PM

I would at least have the converter flushed/cleaned..... I'm guessing your trans guy can do that for you.....

white99ta 04-07-2013 10:38 PM

That's why I asked for input. Thanks guys ill just be more patient and make sure everything is good before I throw it back together.

dkbmxer002 04-07-2013 10:44 PM

Are you having Rob fix it?

white99ta 04-07-2013 11:42 PM

Ya
