I need to find where is located the screw to flash the transmission fluid,it is 6 years that i do not change it and now i got problem with pressure ( ...adapt- long shift). Someone told me that may be if i change the bad old fluid and i replace it with new one bringing it to the right level the problem could go away! Please can you tell me if there is a screw to flash the transmission fluid and where is it located? Thanx
To flush the transmission is not something you can do yourself you have to some special equipment. You can, however change the fluid. There is no drain plug to drain the transmission like there is with the engine oil. If you have been driving this for 6 years and have never changed the fluid and filter, changing it now is probably too late and the damage is done. To drain the fluid you have to remove the pan on the bottom of the transmission. It is very messy so have a large clean pan to catch it in. you will need a new filter, but you can reuse the gasket if it's not damaged. If the fluid is black and has a burned smell you transmission is on it's way to being dead.
SOURCE: transmission fluid level?
There is a 11mm plug on the passenger side of the trans near the axle shaft. Remove that with the car level, trans hot, and engine idling. Fluid should just come out of there when its full.

take it to a shop and have them top it up so you can be sure you have the fluid you need to keep the car going as it should,,,,thats your safest bet

Your transmission is on limp mode and will not shift in to your 4th gear. Have it scaned and see what triggered the limp mode, Your can try resetting your ecm buy turning your ignition to the run postion and pulling the ecu fuse out for 5 sec and re-installing it. You'll hear the fuel pump buzz and then try starting it. Note the truck may start then stalls but let it, just start it up again and your should be fine. The ecm is recalibrating the it self again like the first day it was started. That should clear any limp mode for not. Good luck and get it scaned, could be as simple as a bad battery ground.

This is a sensor issue. It can be from a couple of different sensors. The VSS, or vehicle speed sensor is the main one. Loose or faulty wiring can cause it, a faulty PCM can cause it, or the Throttle Position Sensor can cause it.

Hi :) Sound like a rebuild is coming. The transmission in that truck is 4L60-E and they have a habit of doing this from ware. What happen's is that the pressure regulator and boost valves get sloppy in the pump and the pressure drops and burns out the 3-4 clutch pack and another thing that can happen if there is not any burnt smell to the fluid is a steel 1/4 inche ball could have got stuck in the valve body seperator plate and is not allowing fluid pressure against the 3-4 clutch pack piston.Take it in to transmission specialist he might be able to save it.
