My chevy tahoe takes a while to shift from first to second gear.

From first to second gear ill have to reach #3 on the rpm and let go of the gas and then it will finally shift. The next gears are normal.

Those are normally the first gears to go when your tranny is going bad

SOURCE: Auto Transmission in 94 Chevy K1500 will not shift into 2nd gear

Hi, yes I just had the same problem and the clutch packs inside the transmission are slipping. I had to replace all the clutch packs as well as the bands. The parts for this job really aren't that expensive. you could get everything you need for less than 300 bucks. however labor is where they kill you. It's about a 10 hour job or maybe 12 depending on application. average shop rate 80 an hour you looking at 900 dollars labor plus parts. if your mechanically inclined and have tools you could take your time and do it yourself. you can buy a step by step DVD for your specific application. other wise I would call around to transmission shops. their is a slight chance it may also be your solenoid pack. the best way to confirm is to have a transmission line pressure test done. I hope this helps!

SOURCE: 2001 Yukon XL SLT 4 speed Auto Transmission shift problem!

Sam,

I would start with a transmission fliud and filter service.

I would then have the trasnmission checked out by a transmission shop. The transmission most of the time has the direct drum band is starting to go. The shops can rebuild it no problem, This is a very common failure wiith the trasnmission.

Good Luck

ur computer probably wont show anything ur tranny problem can be anything fron needing a filter changed to vacuum problem to torque converter check the fluid for level if low fill up- before filling look and smell fluid it should be reddish in color not brownish [fluid burnt]if it smells burnt- need trans service can be just a filter and flush ,bad sensor-actuator or rebuild

Why does my 2003 Chevy Tahoe not shift till it hits 4000 rpm

late 1>2 shift.
but what about all gears, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4th (sure cant get there)
  1. check all fuses
  2. scan the PCM see if there are P07xx errors. DTC
4speed box name. 65 does more engine torque>
4L60-E/4L65-E

to reach 2nd gear the TCM brain must see the speed sensor rise correctly.
I bet the scans fail. never fail to scan any care with driveline problems
