Best to have the codes read. The only way the T case would affect shifting is if it were locked in 4 wheel low. It would shift fast and not gain much speed. Most times it is the encoder motor on the T case that dies.

Can I put a transmission from a 2002 Chevy Silverado Z71 into a 2007 Chevy Silverado Z71 4L60E both four wheel drive

2wd or 4wd?
learn this first
4l60e is not full spec part number ever, it is ONLY a series class only.
read the ATSG manuals on this box it tells you that in chapter 1.
the list of tranny swaps are endless, (HUGE)
learn that the gear ratio's most be the the same or the TCM will go MAD (chaos)
  1. fits bell.mount to engine,
  2. same length or 4wd fit up or tail shaft.
  3. mounts that same
  4. same gear ratios'/
  5. same solenoid shift patterns and TCC lockup.
  6. and more lots more. really what could be harder to match?????
ask your transmission re-builder this. they have an expensive data base access that answers all this that most never want to disclose. after all why help you buy elsewhere./??? Realty 101

the transmission has sub codes on the side label
THOSE MATTER TOO

96 ford exsplorer 4wd blinking lights

If after driving a little bit the 4wd light starts blinking then I believe one (or both) of your HALL sensors are bad or have picked up some metal filings.

I believe the light is blinking because your GEM computer doesn't think both driveshafts are going the same speed.

I think one of your HALL sensors is fooling the GEM into thinking one of the driveshafts is stopped all the time

When you are stopped the computer thinks everything is OK (because the other driveshaft is stopped also)

When you are moving the GEM tries to get both driveshaft spinning the same speed but the sensor isn't responding

It takes 5 minutes to change the rear sensor (you have to cut the old one off and splice in the new one. Sealing the splice with liquid electrical tape)

The front sensor is hardr becasue you have to remove the shift motor on the transfer case

also for the 4wd system there is a TOD(torque on demand relay) that might be bad

My 2000 Chevy silverado 1500 z71 wont move. used 4wd then tried to put back into 2wd it would shift into any gear. Put back in park it makes a grinding noise

Sounds like your transfer case in neutral. You have to engage the transfer case back into gear then shift selector to drive or reverse. When your transfer is in neutral the transmission will not operate. Good luck.

My 1999 chevy z71 is stuck in 4Low and now none of the buttons light up? I can not get it back into 2 wheel drive or even 4high

the first thing is to check all your fuses, if fuses are good then you may have a bad switch or a bad selector motor,

My 97 z71 wont shift from 4wd back into 2wd

sometimes you have to reverse for it to kick out of four wheel drive. Make sure you put the truck into neutral before you switch out of four wheel drive into two wheel drive. If that doesn't work, your transmission might be sticking.

1993 4X4 BLASER 4WHEEL DRIVE

Your blazer is equipped with a shift on the fly four wheel drive. That means that at speeds less than fifteen miles per hour you can shift into or out of four wheel drive by simply pushing the four wheel high button. If you wish to shift into four wheel low. Stop, put the transmission into park or neutral, and push the four wheel low button. Same procedure for shifting back out. Never shift into or out of four wheel low while moving. And be careful in four wheel low. At full throttle your still barely moving, you don't want to blow your engine up!

98 Chevy K1500, four wheel drive floor shifter won't engage.

I had the same problem with my 98 z71, I put the floor shifter in neutral, and let the truck roll backwards a little bit, BE CAREFUL, with the floor shifter in neutral the truck will roll, regardless if the shifter on the steering column is in Park, use caution, make sure there is no one around your truck and you are inside of it and out of the path of doors and tires,
