88 chevy thm700-r4 wont shift into 2nd gear

I drove my 88 k2500 to my hunting cabin last week. It drove great all the way there, when we left a half hour later to make the hour trip home the thm700-r4 transmission would not shift out of 1st gear. I checked the fluid level, its good. I checked the shift lever at the transmission and everything was tight and moving freely. I checked the TV cable, it was a little out of adjustment but not much, I readjusted anyway.

Check the modulator and the vacuum line to it.

SOURCE: Automatic Transmission shifts late and rough after warm

If it has over 60000 miles it may need a transmission service, which includes a filter and fluid change, fluid may look fine but if filter is clogged and not picking up fluid fast enough when u give it gas the pump spins faster and forces fluid thru to shift, more fluid is needed to shift into higher gear.than to drive

Does it just not shift up to 3rd or when it shifts to 3rd it is just like neutral?

SOURCE: Rough shifting automatic transmission on Honda Accord from 1st to 2nd gear

it has a problem with the second gear drum it cracks and does not fully engauge the n shifts to 3rd ..many honda owners also learn the 8 bucks a quart is the only fluid to pour in a honda..but remember 3 qaurts per drain and fill the tranny holds 7q ....it will take a case to do a drain flush...a high pressure flush will ruin a automatic tranny with alot of miles or metal deposits floating around inside..DRAIN AND FILL 3 QUARTS AT A TIME NO GASKET NEEDED ITS BUILT AND DESIGNED LIKE A MANUAL TRANNY

1993 Chevy Silverado 4x4 1500 - transmission problem: in drive shifts from 1 to 2, but not always to 3rd gear - never 4th - shifts into 3rd only at high engine RPM. There appears to be a pan leak as...

If you have no overdrive at all, and virtually no third, then it's time for an overhaul. The 3-4 clutches have failed, a common problem in this trans since 1981. Yes, 1981. Your trans is a 4L60-E that is computer controlled. In 1981 it was called a THM700-R4, and was hydraulically controlled. The input clutch drum is basically the same as it was in 1981, and the 3-4 clutches are prone to failure, usually around 130,000 to 150,000 kms (75,000 to 90,000 miles).

Check that the OD solenoid on the torque converter is good still. When the R4 wont go into OD you have no more gears than 1st an 2nd. If the OD clutch drum was relaced if it was burnt, that will make a problem also. You have to have OD in order for these babies to work right.

1987 buick wont shift

Have the transmission serviced (should be done every 60,000 miles), a fluiid and filter change, there is a good chance this will cure the problem.

Wont go into reverse and doesnt go into 3rd unless i let off gas

It sounds like you broke the sun gear shell in the transmission. This is real common on 4L60E. The transmission will have to be disassembled to fix it. If this is what is wrong it will have no reverse and hold 1st till about 30 and then skip 2nd, right to 3rd. Then never shift in to 4th.
