You need to do a pressure check. There is a oil pressure port on the driver side above and to the left of the manual linkage. Put an oil pressure gage in that port. In park and neutral it should sit at 30psi. In reverse it should jump to 210+/-, in drive it will surge as you give it gas up to about 90. If you are not getting this response, suspect either the pressure regulator, or I hate to say it, you may have damaged the pump installing the torque converter. (I owned an AAMCO shop and this would happen at least once a month with guys that did this for a living. It is easy to misaligned the tc when you are installing it.

Hope this helps

I have a 97 chevy silverado c1500 ext cab 2wd automatic the truck stopped shifting. I had a tranny rebuild done and then park reverse and neutral worked but it wouldn't shift outta 1 st. Got new shift...

1st and 3rd gear only sounds like a broken sun shell he should feel bad... The only real issue on those 96 97 transmissions is the solenoid resistance values so swap ur solenoids with the one u want to put in and it will work fine if u do ur home work first.. U got to know why they wont work thats how u find cheats... But first and third sounds like a stripped or sheared shell...was reverse gone to

I have a 1995 chevy astro van and its. has no reverse and its does not shift right

sounds like you have a broken sun shell inside of the transmission, you will have to have the transmission removed, and repaired, or replaced unfortunately. the sun shell is a common failure in these and has been redesigned

My 86 olds cutlas wont go in reverse but will shift in all other gears why

Common problem back in the day was linning falling off low/reverse clutches. You can confirm this by driving in manual low a ways and feeling what is called engine braking ( where the engine holds back on a coast). If you have engine braking then you have some other problem I have never seen. I cut my teeth fixing these transmissions and when they would not back up it was always a reverse clutch problem exept the ones that would not shift and had no reverse and it was a stripped sun gear shell.Good luck!

1997 chevy blazer awd - no reverse and slipping in forward - oil good no leaks - whats this?

It sounds like the sun shell inside the transmission that is faulty, and that is due to a manufacturing process..
Unfortunately, this problem requires a rebuild or replacement of the transmission. The same thing happened to me about a month ago with my 97 Blazer. It cost me $1200.00 for a local transmission shop to rebuild mine.
"
The "sun shell" connects the reverse input drum to the sun gear. The 2/4 band wraps around the reverse drum. When the reverse clutches are applied the sun shell spins the sun gear. When the 2/4 band is applied the sun shell holds the sun gear from spinning. This is why when it breaks you lose reverse, second and fourth"

2002 Trailblazer 4x4 no reverse and shifts hard in lower gears

that is because this is a either a linkage problem to shift column on transmission or just maybe the transmission has to be replaced. maybe all you need is a shift kit. try that ok?

99 Chevy Blazer won't go into reverse

it sound like you broke the sun shell in the transmission.

this is pretty common with the 4l60e transmission, when the sun shell breaks you will lose reverse and fourth gear, the only remedy is to replace the transmssion or have it repaired, the repair will require the transmission be removed and disassembled, you will need to purchase a new sun shell (get a heavy duty replacement) and a papper rubber kit for the repair, the kit costs about $80.00 and the new sun shell is about $65.00, just find a good trans guy to provide the labor.

Transmission

Well ,

If the fluid is dark, burnt , or has metal or dark clutch material.
The transmission has a burnt up clutches ,the sun shell in most cases with this transmission is the cause of failure inside.The sun shell holds the clutches and steels in place . When the sun shell breaks the transmission is loosing pressure inside. Then the clutch are not engaging . This is why the transmission is slipping This is a very common problem with this vehicle. The sensors/ soleniods are located in the valve body of the transmision. There are some cases where a transmission shop can tighten the sun shell or bands. This could be a temporary fix, The best thing to do is have the transmission replaced or rebuilt at your local transmission repair shop
