Bro you saved me thousands. For all the others reading. Not on transmission. On throttle body. But yeah I love RUclips. And ppl like you that post to help out others. Thumbs up to you mann.
I just bought my truck for 600$ you saved me what a lot and I got a deal
where is this located ?
I have a 95 Silverado c1500 do I have this sensor?
Dude sold me a sierra 1500 4x4 5.3l for cheap because the trans was slipping, I put a new tps, runs great now!
@@alexis_1503 the throttle body lol
This actually really helped my 94 GMC 1500. I was shocked at how much smoother it shifts
Was your engine light on for a tps code
I have a 95 c 1500. Do I have this sensor?
I replaced the throttle position sensor on my 95 GMC Sierra 1500. Afterwards my truck wouldn't start. Luckily I had seen another You Tube video that led me to believe the new sensor wasn't getting along with the old ignition control module. I bought a new module and replaced the old one and the truck started right up. And yes, the new throttle position sensor fixed my transmission's hard shift. I'm a very happy DIY'er!!!
Were you getting the p1870 code
I have a 2000 s10 2.2 136,000 miles It's code p1870
it slips in and out of overdrive ??
Alex, you are the man. My transmission is shifting better than ever thanks to you. Thank you for your video and expert tutelage.
Normally don’t comment on these but I swear I just did this and he’s not lying it’s legit thanks bro much gratitude.
Wow. I knew throttle body cables had some to do with transmission but never thought my problem could be this. Thank you. I will try it.
My Astro was bucking/jerking especially after 50mph. Found this vid and ordered a new TPS. Kinda tricky with the Astro but got it done. Although I didn't disconnect the battery. Totally fixed the problem! Thank you!!
Update: not only did this fix that problem, it also climbs hills correctly without harsh down shifts, service light doesn't flash anymore, accelerates like new and gas mileage improved.
What. Codes was it throwing out before the fix?
@@geovannirios7565 : the service engine soon light came on when climbing hills. Later on, the light was on constantly.
Another update: please buy a quality part, my fix lasted only 6 weeks cus the TPS failed. A seller listed the part as OEM but in comparison to the factory part, it was a bit different and lighter in weight. So long story short, got a real oem TPS and it's good again.
Thank you for posting this video! I just replaced my TPS and you were 100% correct. My hard shift from 1st to second has been solved! It wasn’t my transmission at all. I went into this thinking screw it if I replace the TPS and nothing happens nbd. But it really worked and you saved me a fuck load in time money and energy. I hope you continue to put out good content. Keep up the great work you are doing. 👍
Art Hustlestein what’s the name of that part ?
After changing the tps doesn’t the ecu need a relearn ??
The only reason that
I'm going to try this before I open my pan now to replace sensor solenoids. Thank you for video I'll look into it asap.
Update?
I have a 2010 GMC Sierra and it's been hard shifting for years. I replaced the throttle body and TPS with a Hitachi brand. Been driving it for two days so it can relearn the idle. No hard-shifting yet and it feels like a new truck so far. I'll come back and post an update in a couple of months. Great video thank you so much this really helped.
Any issues ?
@@MoMo-ps6kssame problem came back just like this guy is describing transmission shifts hard so I replaced the sensor at gas pedal sending signal to throttle body sensor when I stopped on gas. To make a long story longer that didn't fix the hard shifting. Now I'm trying a throttle response controller that can make the gas pedal respond quicker racier but the eco mode works the best for me and I feel lighter shifting problems but not as hard as before.
@@danniecarmona2509 did you check the solenoid and 1&2nd accumulator ?
@@MoMo-ps6ks no but thank you that'll be next👍
@@danniecarmona2509 give me an update . Good luck 👍🏼
Dude thank you so much!!!!!!!!! That was my problem to my Transmission shifting hard, I was getting ready to get my transmission rebuilt, Thank God I decided to watch your video and the problem was solved, you saved me A lot of money thank you so much again!!!!!
The only Issue with the 4L60E that I've ran into was the Sunshield!!
They can Snap at very low speeds shifting into or downshifting.
If it snaps?? You need a whole new rebuild! I just got mine rebuilt as a HD 4L60E. $2500 on my 2002 Blazer ZR2 with a new Torque Converter.
I also Replaced the Camshaft Position Sensor & all 02 Sensors. They through a Check Engine Code. Runs like new with 300k miles on her & looks beautiful with zero rust here in TX
I replaced this on my ‘98 camaro ss and it fixed the problem! With shipping it was like $11. Saves me tons! Thank you!
What was the problem.
So happy I found this video 1st I just changed it made a big difference and I was about to drop my transmission
I have a 95 c1500 Silverado. Do I have this same sensor??
@@rodneyhendricks2412 yes.
Another thing if your 4l60E looses a gear do a pan drop and replace the filter and add lucas. Then if the problem persists replace Solenoids
my 1999 astro slammed into 1st/2nd for years and i changed the filter + ATF to Valvoline max synthetic and that fixed it. TPS Throttle Position Sensor. You can open the TPS and bend the metal tab back to fit stronger as new and that can fix it. Try finding that vid on youtube. Perhaps "repairing the TPS"?
If you're going as far as pulling the pan, it's simple enough to probe the solenoids (22ish ohms is about normal) and replace if necessary. The transmission fluid cost more to replace than a solenoid...
Thank you very much it worked for me and saved me a lot of money I was gonna buy a new transmission for no reason 👍🏻
Having same problem with '06 Escalade with electronic TB. Just bought original AC Delco Professional for $50. No need to try to save on cheap Chinese aftermarket one. Will see if that helps. I'm on my 3rd transmission. All of them had this magical shift slip in the 2nd gear. Transmission guys kept my money but didn't and couldn't offer solution. I was about to fk up my 3rd transmission which I just chanhed 3 months ago. Will keep posted if it helps. Part will take 2 weeks to arrive here. I'm in Georgia, Europe. Thanks for the video.
did this help?
9/2018 - Confirmed. I just swapped mine and it was the right solution. Thank you brother.
Do you have a part number? Wanna try this too
Wanted to take a moment and thank you for this video... !!! My 1993 2500 Suburban was shifting just fine until I washed the engine, after the wash it was like my transmission was all messed up doing the hard shifting and not even shifting to higher gears... I replaced the part you talked about and it is shifting fine again... Anyway, thank you so much, greatly appreciate you took the time to share this video... PS not a good idea to wash down an old engine lol
Youre welcome. Glad you fixed your truck
My Sierra is doing this now for sure going to try this. Thank you buddy!
My Sierra is doing it too did you try this?
@WeeStrom CO Guy not yet I changed the transmission fluid and it was clean so I'm gonna do the soon. As long as I drive gingerly it has no issues. I'll update as soon as I change it.
My 04 Sierra 2500HD is basically slamming into hear after a while, it comes and goes. Will this fix that issue or is it the valve body like the code reader says or is or is the this?
This applies to newer trucks too even with electronic throttle bodies. I put a new throttle body on my 03 tahoe and it fixed all my shifting issues
Thank you for the video. I’m having this same issue. Mainly drive into reverse. I’m going to try this before solenoids
Did this help with your problem
Hey man, I wanted to thank you for your video, you may have just saved me a lot of headache with my 96 Suburban 4x4 with the 4L60E. The guy that had this truck before me kept flawless records on it so I have the entire history and the poor guy had been through the ringer trying to get that jerk with the transmission fixed and the last thing he put in the file was "Throttle Body Sensor" along with a number and some info, so he didn't get to try it before I bought it from him (at a great deal, I might add) so I'm really hoping your and his idea works, its looking good coming from both of you, at least. I'll update later if Its successful.
You're welcome. Good luck with your truck.
Did it work?
Random hard shift 2001 4l80e 6.0, swapped the tps and iac from my part truck and cleaned the throttle body, seemed to fix it, random hard up shift 3/4 then 1/2. Took it for a beating and it hasn't happen. Thank God I was going to pull the tranny out and throw parts at it. What gave it away was it started idling 1000 rpm once and a while and then I noticed it happened when it shifted rough
I plan on fixing my 4l60e by pusing 400+ whp thru it and seeing how long it lasts
Did that work? Or do you need to add twin turbos?
Good luck.
I smell a valve body exploding soon
The torque converter will grenade before anything
With this video I just did mine two days ago and it shifts smooth and the idle came out low. I use to have high idle and when shift to 1to2 to 3 to 4 gear has a bump now all smooth shifting.. I have 2002 astrovan 4L60e transmission 84k miles only original owner.. I don't have a error code before and after the fix.. I just took my chances and follow this video. The only mistake I did is I didn't disconnect my negative battery so for long time of working removing the dog house all three doors open my battery died drain out I just jump start with my other car then after it started I drove it bump came two times then went away while I continued driving maybe due to the transmission is trying to adapt the new TPS sensor. Thanks for the video. 😀
Did a LS swap in my 83 C-10, LS2 with a 4L80E Transmission and after having my Transmission rebuilt for a second time, it is doing this same exact thing 🤦🏾♂️. Shifting EXTREMELY hard from 1st to 2nd. We just put 373 gears in it and I had it tuned again after doing that so I thought this hard shift problem may be in the tune. But after finding this video, I think this may be my problem. I’m going to get this replaced first and see if this fixes my problem. I sure do hope so because I’m about ready to give up on this LS Swap 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️.
My 1997 C1500 did this after driving about 100 miles, I got worried that the transmission was overheating so I changed all the new fluid with some dexron 6 oil and the filter. Now though it happens at as soon as 30 miles when it's cold outside, I'll try this out for sure
Thanks for video, pay have just saved me a 1000$ or more! I have the same exact symptoms in my 07 suburban and will definitely be picking up a new throttle position sensor today to see if it solves the issue
Did it solve the issue?? Having the same problem in my 05
@@BowtieMarco mine turned out to be the mass air flow sensor, though I did replace the sensor while we were at it just in case. But mass air flow would be a good place to start. A little easier to get to then the sensor too, though the sensor is pretty easy to replace. Hope your problem gets fixed too!
Was having the same shifting problems with my z/28. Installed new TPS and everything works great. Everyone wanted $44.00 for a new one. Got it online at AAA auto parts for 11.00 plus 6.00 shipping.
what is the part number and description
i have formula firebird been sitting for 16years got it changed filter and fluid but befor that it was hesitating to shift into 2nd gear it would wind out id let off throttle then it would shift few seconds later
sound like your issue?
@@ginerbread84 im having same issue on 1997 camaro v6 i have to let off gas to seem to shift when hammering the gas. did u fix the issue was it tps
@@jordanscott6410 the trans was junk i replaced it
@@ginerbread84 yay☹️
I was looking for answers...... I haven't tried this yet. But thanks for the low cost option
I really need to try this, i am experiencing the same this as you state.
The problem with the 4l60e hard shift and 1870 code is the tcc valve in the trans. You can get an upgraded valve by tekpak on amazon for 18 dollars free shipping and there is a video on youtube that shows how to replace it without removing valve body hope this helps.
Matthew Hoehne what is the name of the video
ruclips.net/video/YK46XJbAJqg/видео.html
I have put the tekpak upgrade into my car with the smaller O rings and I still have a little harder shift. Were you able to get the bigger O rings in there? I found it to hard to get them into the bore.
Nick Stadler how hard is the shift compared to before i was able to force the bigger o rings in but damaged one in the process so I also used the smaller ones I havnt really been able to test it out though
Matthew Hoehne I managed to get the bigger o rings in the bore with a good amount of weapon vaseline. It went in really easy without being damaged. Now it shifts very soft and stays in gear all the way up. The smaller o rings did not seal correctly on my valve body.
Alex I'm going to give that a try and report back to you and the viewers. I had a different problem with one of those throttle position switches on a Cougar I had years ago and replace it three times before I took the TB off the vehicle to see what was going on. Turns out that the throttle shaft wobbled terribly because the bushings for it were worn out. I put in new bushings and a new sensor and never had that problem again. Sadly, I had so many other problems with this pile of crap I never bought another Ford product again!
Yep Fords are junk
@@alexsbikesandmotors Well, it was a great idea and I changed out the throttle position sensor but it didn't correct the problem. However, it does tell me the problem is somewhere in that area. I recently had an antifreeze leak between the intake manifold and heads that was repaired by a NAPA dealer. They had to remove the intake manifold so they may not have connected something properly because it is an intermittent problem. If I make right turns it will go away until I make a left turn, or so it seems. Along with the hard shifting is a slight lack of power, like a clogged injector, or one not getting the right signal for fuel.
Wish I saw this before I sent mine in a couple days ago just payed $3000 for a rebuild and other stuff and it still doesn’t work so now ima try this
And what happened?
Update??
So what happened did work?
Really appreciate for such an information! You save my feelings about my old Chevy G30 6.5D NA . Thanks a lot!
I have a GMC Savana 1500 Van. I had a check engine light come on recently and took the vehicle to autozone to get the code read and it told us that it was an O2 sensor, which is still the case because I found out the vehicle has 4 of them and until i have further diagnostics to find out which sensor needs to be replaced... I then took the vehicle on a 400+ mile trip and experienced hard shifting upon my return. I am going to replace the TPS just to make sure it's not an added stress until i have further diagnostics ran.. Thanks for the advice.
Whatever code pops up on your scanner will determine which sensor it might be. You have 1 upstream and 1 Downstream on each pipe. Pre and post catalytic converter. On my 5.7 Vortec, code 171 is bank 1 Upstream (driver side) and code 174 is bank 2 Upstream (passenger side). For example.
O2 sensor code doesn't mean your o2 sensor is bad...it could mean that but doesn't mean it 100%
I'll relate a strange one. My wife had a 2000 pontiac grand am gt. It started shifting hard enough to jerk your head back. If you put it in reverse it would jerk so hard that you thought it was going to break mounts. Also the guage cluster would go erratic. It was three days later before the check engine light came on, at that time I used the OBD scan tool, it only showed higher thaan normal voltage from the engine temperature sensor. This part cost 12$. I replaced the temp sensor and everything started working correctly. Imagine that..... The dianostic system is an open loop wired system, one sensor can affect other functions of the processor. It does happen.
Thanks for posting this my grand prix is doing this exact same thing.
2002 GMC Safari. Shifts late, like its in tow/haul mode but then once it's in second gear it will shift way to early making it seem like it's low on power. So to remedy this I shifted in to each gear my self and it was shifting fine. I put the scanner on it and just like I thought the throttle position senor was throwing out a code.
I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH TO TY AND MY MECHANIC!!! Put in new TPS and changed out gear oil in rear of TBSS. WHAT AN AMAZING DIFFERENCE!! TO ALL TBSS owners you MUST DO THIS IF YOUR GETTING THAT HARD 1-2 SHIFT. NOW IT SHIFTS BUTTERY SMOOTH compared to the TBSS'S known HARD SHIFT!! T H A N K Y O U S O M U C H!!💪👍👌💪👍👌
What type of vehicle did u put it on?
@@ALIENBACKGAMING Was put in a 2007 Trailblazer SS and if I remember right we did the mass air flow too
wow thank you for the video just finished replacing my sensor and it worked thank you !!!
Put a new TPS in 2ndays ago. Truck starts, runs and shifts WAY better. All after being in 2 shops multiple times for these issues.
I'll try it on my 06 Silverado this weekend. Thanks
Did it work?
from past experience I’ve had bad tps not even throw codes on the dash. If your not shifting right that’s always the first think to check. Beside obviously the transmission fluid lol
I drive a 2019 canyon with the 8 speed auto trans. Been having hard shifts usually during first startup for the day, between 1st and 2nd. Took it to dealership and they pulled a bulletin stating its a "normal condition" which I find very hard to believe. Truck still under warranty so I have a case opened with GM and working with them now to HOPEFULLY have this shit fixed with no out of pocket cost.
Thanks for making this video. It's going to save people a lot of time and money.
This was super helpful you described exactly whats going on with my astro might as well try it thank you very much
My 05 5.3l has the 4l60e is shifting hard 1-2 but only after an hour of sitting in traffic. Done it on two instances now. Hopefully this is my issue. The transmission is brand new so the only other thing i can think is the solenoids.
My 2012 Silverado SWB has a 4l60e, they used it all the way to 2013 if I'm not mistaken
I bought it and it worked for me. Thank you.
Did you have the same hard shifting 1st to 2nd gear?
I have had the same problem since I bought a used Silverado.
Definitely going to try this with my 96 gmc 1500 awesome video 👍🏻
Damn!! Great video. Mine was just doing this and now it's at the trans shop 😣
Wish i found this out sooner
What was the end results
What happened after the shop diagnosed it?
Thank you ! although you probably bum out a lot of transmission garages. Lol
Hell yeah dude I am going to go try that 👊my transmission is doing the exact same thing and I have been trying to figure this s*** out because I just had it rebuilt about a hundred thousand milesand my garage mechanic said that it was something else it was not the transmission so I'm going to try this and I'll let you know
I hope this works🙏 I just installed a new tranny less than 3000 miles ago and it started shifting hard again. 97 s10 with 4.3 and 4x4 4l60e
Yeah I had similar off that kind of a problem in my Yukon I'm going to try that thank you so much for the info help me alot
I tried this today and it was a waste of 45.00 the truck still shifts hard. I’m thinking it needs the tcc valve upgrade. But thanks for the video I guess it’s always good to start with the cheapest stuff first.
you can probably put your old tps back on and return the new one. Tell em it didn't fit or something. haha
Ill have to try that i have the exact same hard 1-2 shift in my 4l60
+MotorsAndMore - Try cleaning it / refurbishing it. It's really super easy, try this Video here: ruclips.net/video/KBZGZkiZ7cc/видео.html
@Alex's Bikes and Motors. Hi Alex, We just bought our daughter a nice 1996 Pontiac Grand Am w/2.4L engine and either GM's 4T40E or 4T45E automatic transmission. Today, Sunday, I drove with my daughter on a 38x 2 76 mile round trip. On the way there, I noticed the trans shifting sorta hard int 2nd gear, every up-shift. As everyone says, I drive like an old man (which I am) but at any rate, over the past 25 years or so I've driven slower than most. Always in the right lane & at or below the speed limit.
So with that said, on Friday late afternoon, 2 1/2 days ago, she came by our house so I could test drive the car. I drove it a couple miles at the way I normally drive & didn't notice it shifting hard into 2nd gear at all. But today I could sure tell it was shifting hard almost every time we started to pull away from a green light, I did ask her if it's been shifting like it was all the time. She said yes. After watching your video, which was explained well I might add, left me thinking if this may be the issue with this transmission... If she goes really slow it's not as bad but when she pulls away quick, it sure is noticeable...
I'm going to send her a txt & ask her to either call me before she plans on going anywhere so I can drive to her place & drive the car when it's cold & see if it shifts hard like it did today.
Since she bought it from a local used car dealer close by, I told her that there used to be a law in Michigan that did allow a buyer 72 hours to return a vehicle if it showed to have a problem like this that was not mentioned. It may or may not apply with this sale but here in Michigan it was a law, that was enforced as well....
Now going by your video, was this a normal GM issue with a lot of their automatic transmissions. I mean this car has 96k miles & for a Michigan car, it looks good & hasn't any rust issues. Just the shifting issue. Thanks for the great video upload, MD......
I'm not too familiar with those cars but I'm pretty sure they use the same TPS as the truck engines (part# th149), so that could be the issue. Maybe try replacing it. Are you sure the trans doesn't have a throttle valve cable? If it does it could just need adjusting. If the fluid looks good and is at the right level, and TPS or t/v cable check out good, I probably wouldnt worry too much about it. Hard shifts (within reason) don't tend to hurt transmissions in my experience. It's soft shifts and slipping you've got to worry about.
@@alexsbikesandmotors Alex, I took it out Sunday & it shifts normally, almost can't even tell it's geared it's that smooth. It's just if you start off too fast it shifts hard 1st-2nd. I told m daughter, just try not stomping so hard on the pedal... I'll look today when she stops by for cable to the trans. That's probably the one advantage with FWD, everything's under the hood.
Now if it is just an adjustment, it shouldn't take much but in the meantime I was ordering the tcs for it & keep my fingers crossed... Thanks for the advise & the reply. I know the people who owned it wouldn't have passed a problem vehicle to us, so I'm gonna go with, it's just a GM trans thing.....
I read somewhere that hard shift from 1st to 2nd might have something to do with the
1-2 shift accumulater needing
an upgrade. Replace the cheap plastic parts from
the factory
I have this issue. Is this what the problem is? The accumulater? If so, how easy of a fix
I heard the same thing the plastic wears out
I have a 2011 Silverado v6 that’s shifting hard out of first. Changed the transmission fluid thinking that would be it but it’s still shifting hard.
Thanks for sharing. It worked for me.
Just wanted to let people know. I have owned my 1995 GMC since 1995. Mine also did the same thing idle high harsh shifting. Tried changing the T.P.S. sensor helped for a week then came back. Turns out the wire plug going to it was wore out. Changed the pigtail and it never came back. Hope this helps someone.
That was a 1 off year you have 3 solenoids in that one I believe
Did it shift hard all the time or when you warm it up and get it going
I'm wandering the same thing?
I already knew. And I was hoping someone shared that advice because some mechanics are not so honest and take advantage of it thank you so much
I realllllllly effin hope you are right bud. I just had to buy a brand new 350 5.7 motor and then my trans was acting up
Going to try this on my 07 Avalanche tomorrow
How'd it go for you?
@@beetee801 I replaced my transmission, this trick didn't work for me
That exactly what Apen to my for pass ten months thank so much I one for my hondai
I have a 2000 2500 Silverado been driving it like that for years but will start off jus fine everyday I could drive in the city all day long so long as I didn't go over bout 45mph but as soon as I'd get on the highway and come back to a stop it start shifting hard but if I pulled over and shutoff the engine it would work jus fine again been scratchen my head for years on that 1 maybe I'll try the old TPS sensor
Could be a bad TPS. Definitely it's an electrical problem if stopping and restarting the engine fixes it. My blazer did a similar thing when the TPS started to go bad. When I first started the truck it would shift hard, but if i drove for a couple of minutes and shut it off and restarted it, it would shift normal again. Replacing the TPS fixed it.
twice replaced this in my GM HOLDEN COMMODORE 1999 model
Id try this first b4 taking to aamco cuz theyd automatically say needs a rebuild
🙏🏼very informative. Wii this fix work on a 2004 Hyundai Accent?
THANKS!!!!! AAMCO WANTED TO REBUILD MY TRANY FOR 1600 DLLS.
They are crooks!
Bro thank you so much
Wow good call man. Thank you.
Did you have an engine code for it ?
I have a similar problem on my Hummer H2. Right now it is not shifting at all from 1 to 2. Previously would do so if car would have a speed with very high RPM, then let to rid idle without any push on acceleration and a gentle push on pedal would make a shift from 1 to 2. What hints me that it may not be trany is that actually in first gear, transmission is running very strong, even up the hill (Unlike my other prior experience with failing transmissions, where main symptom was sliding or un willing of car to have a go, even on flat surface.
So do you think my hummer problem is also Throttle Position Sensor? And if so, the hummer h2 sensor is similar to what you show here or its entirely different.
Anyways thanks for your great video & sharing knowledge, especially that this can potentially save thousands of dollars.
my 1996 looses overdrive after a hard shift, and i hope this helps!
Samein in my 1997. I git a Bluetooth code reader and every time It’s jump out of over drive I clear the fault
Codes and it goes right back in. Something to do with computer
The Funny thing is it doesn’t ever say there’s even a code being thrown. But even when you clear it it shifts back to overdrive
It fixed mine thank you
Hey man! Like you said not just truck but any GM vehicle with 4L60E I have this exact same problem with my 2003 corvette, it shifts at like 5-6k rpms and it throws me into 2nd gear! I may give this a look.
Nice boos, work for you???
So, I drive up to about 18 miles an hour and I’ll have to left off so it can shift to second gear. My Reverse is out. My truck would jerk when I went up too high. What is it
You broke 2nd gear and reverse and 2nd gear same belt trans rebuilt
Band or band servo.
Think this is happening to my 04 Tahoe... hard shifts to 2nd gear... now it’s starting to slip an notice abs and TC light came on but after about 2 minutes it went off...
Did this work for you I have a 2001 Tahoe shifting second gear hard
Danny Ordaz I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and put it back... it’s been fine since... still shifts a little hard going to second but no lights an I have had least put 400 miles on the Tahoe from when I disconnected the battery
Can this be for Buick lacrosse too? Mine shifts fast and hard after warmed up but no lights are on??😢
Hell yea ill hive this a try my trans is always giving me problems but the motor runs tits. Tonight it felt like 3rd gear was going out but shifts fine if i use the column 1st through 3rd then drive
My overdrive is really weak and when I give it gas it pop right back in to four I wounder if this is it
On cold starts sometimes my trucks wants to slam into gear. Anybody have that problem to please let my know very frustrated with this issue
My 09 does this when it's cold & if I let it warm up good before I drive it it goes in gear easy like it should or once driven & warm it's normal ! It shifts fine when cold but has a hard engagement when cold not warmed up some times going from park to drive so I have been looking to see if anyone else is having this same problem but I am not seeing much at all other than hard shift points in the transmission going from 1&2 or other shift points but nothing on initial engagement going from park to drive at all !
If my truck is downshifts hard into first when coimg to a stop. Would this possibly help? I have a 2009 4.8 Silverado
My Astro Van is having issues with this transmission. The motor starts but have to press gas pedal to floor, when starts runs high rpms for a minute or two and when driving on high way it will not shift to over drive. Hope this is the problem.
If awd drive goes out an you only have rear wheel drive will that affect how it shifts
Bro... this is a 90s model chevy... it does not have AWD. in any year make or model...
Good question i would like to know the answer to because I'm having the same issue and mine is 4wd. But it doesn't work! Front wheels have no power even tho I can hear it engage. If you found an answer to that please let me know? Thanks!
Thank you for this video I have a 2007 classic Silverado I think this is my problem I’ve change the fluid filter Silla noise where is this part located at under the hood
on the 4.3 it's on the drivers side of the throttle body right in the middle of the engine. Find the air intake hose, follow that to the throttle body on the intake manifold and that's where it is. I have another video on how to change the tps sensor.
jfmthuglove ur truck don’t have that sensor anymore everything is electronic
SOTO'S thank you
SOTO'S I am about to put a transmission in it thank you
@@jfmthuglove on your truck it's combined with throttle body
I have a 98 Blazer and when I put it in drive it drives it self like it forces me to drive it's a weird I replace the mass flow air sensor
2007 H3 here, same problem.
Slams from 1-2 or when I put R/D.
Temporary fixable if I delete error P0717(internal speed sensor low voltage) before taking off, but it comes back.
Looks like if there is any electronical problem, computer puts tranny in safe(ish) mode.
I sooo don't want to tear apart my tranny.
And someone wise enough put throttle sensor inside throttle body, for better or worse.
yes, the transmission safe mode switches to max shift pressure, so it will shift as hard as possible. It does this because if there is any slipping in the trans or if the trans can't decide how much shift pressure to use, it defaults to max because it'll prevent slipping so the internal trans parts don't wear. I'm not sure where the internal speed sensor is on the 4L60E but you might be able to replace it by dropping the trans pan, not tearing apart the whole trans.
Just wondering mine shifts hard 1-2 but usually only after long trips (60min +) and does some weird things with the throttle from time to time when I’m keeping the peddle level and the truck is reading transmission slippage did yours do the same thing with the engine code?
Same with me
Same issue here. Once the transmission reaches about 170F it slams in to 2nd gear real hard. But once back on the highway it cools down and shifts normally. So it only does this when it heats up. My truck is also equipped with a stock external transmission cooler.
It did give me a code which I researched. In the GM service manual I found a technical service bulletin about replacing something in the transmission valve body (or something like that) to fix the issue.
Did you have a Check engine light and TPS associated codes, or did you just decide to try a new TPS?
Here's where I'm at!
2001 Grand Prix with a 3.1-liter motor, started idling high after good and warmed
up. No codes at the time though.
When motor would idle too high, 4T65E trans would shift super late under light
throttle. About 25 MPH and 2,500 RPM before it would hit 2nd. gear.
Was OK the next day. 3rd. day, high idle and late shift again!
This time the check engine light did come on. Code P0121. Scanner TPS angle
percentage at idle shows 0 sometimes, and sometimes 0.39% and ~ 100% at WOT. One
time while sitting there idling fine, ~ 700 RPM, all at once the idle kicked up to
~1,300 RPM all by itself and I looked at the scanner, now TPS angle percentage went
up to 2.75%.
From my readings it looks to me like the sensor IS receiving the 5V reference, and
my ground in good, and my reference voltage is changing and being sent back to the
ECM. My voltmeter is at my buddy's garage right now, so I could not do any voltage
testing at the TPS connector itself.
I'm ready to take a chance based on my findings, and just install a new TPS.
What do you think?
Sometimes a bad tps will throw a code but sometimes they dont. A new tps is cheap. You could try replacing it and see what happens.

Yeah, I did replace it last week, actually F'd up worse for a while. Then went back to same issue.
It's intermittent though.
Fellow at one of my discussion groups thinks it's the low reference ground return wire, from the TPS, back to the ECM.
The Black wire, terminal B at the TPS.
Didn't find anything yet though.
@@mrbreezeet1 if u replaced tps with a known good tps and youre still getting tps codes, youve got a broken wire, shorted wire, bad ground, bad ecm or some combo of these
@@alexsbikesandmotors
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I think it's the ECM generated ground wire terminal B to terminal 61 at the ECM
No check engine light at first but check engine light finally popped on for a while and gave me a pending TPS code off p0121.
I then later got a pending code of p0101 mass airflow sensor code but I think it was due to the TPS.
Thanks. I'm going to do it to my 2004 chevy, if it fixes it then I'm going to say that the tranny shop that said I needed a rebuild are jack-asses.
Open the hood and is on the left side on the side of your intake
So what's the part name ?.
he said it
Didn’t work for me. But I’ll post what it is when I get it fixed.
Fix it yet?
@@HossStyle1 naw trans is gone. Burnt first gear up smh
So I'm having a problem of where after I drive it for a good 30 minutes to an hour. I noticed when I come to red lights and then go and shift into first I can feel it like a little hit when it goes into it. Wondering if it's this?
Would this cause erratic shifting? Mine doesn't slam feels ok ish but sometimes feels like a new transmission, sometimes it slurs on upshift. And sometimes lazy to kick back! If I change manually it feels responsive and seems better when up shifting! Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia 🙂! Great information!!
