2011 Impala Transmission shifting problem fix 4T65E

My 2011 Chevrolet Impala had shifting problems. This is how I fixed it.

[@BlueCross76111]

Couldn't find a shop to "rebuild" replace solenoids etc.. Shops were quoting me $3500 - $4600 to replace transmission. . . . . . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!!!! :) God bless you.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Thanks for sharing

[@southernmost9429]

I know this video is a couple years old but I am so glad you made it. I had all the same symptoms yours had. From a stop, engine would rev but no engagement till there was a clunk and a jerk and off you go. I just finished my solenoid replacement project. It took about 12 hrs. I'll drive it probably 500 miles this week so I'll get a good feel for how it responds. Thank you for posting this video and making content for those of us who are not afraid to get our hands dirty. Spent maybe $150 in parts. Shop probably woulda charged me $1500. Thanks Again!!

for sure, thanks for watching.

I am about to do this on my 97 GTP . Got it jacked up and started on and I've been looking for a video for months showing me what all I need to do... So thank you very much as I just happened to come across your video this morning! Very informative! Thank you

[@danielrodas9942]

Thank you sir for this great video, you Saved me $2,800 for a Reman. Trans. + Labor. About (3) mths. ago I purchased a 2011 LTZ w/ 118.4 k. (currently @ 120.0 k). After a month driving it; same exact issue with my Transmission (4T65R) has come to the forefront of my Car Issue(s) list. It's very noticeable when street driving; accelerating from a full STOP/or Red Light....transmission engagement delay (btwn 1k - 1.5k RPM) for a few secs. and then a sudden slight jerk forward and the car proceeds forward. No issues on freeway. Now I know the solution, all thanks to your video. Cheers!

[@christianmonet1297]

Did u end up replacing the solenoid/sensors? If so did that fix it or help or not? I bought an 08 SS with 113k and it was fine but I knew the ATF had never been replaced so I replaced the filter and fluid. Then it started doing that, every so often, from complete stops. never at any other speed, and it started shifting a bit more noticeable into third. I'm assuming the solenoids got dirty/plugged when the old came out and new fluid in.

I did this exact job and the car shifted wayyyy better than it did. I turned around and sold my SS Impala as they have weak transmissions.

500 miles later and it is performing perfectly. Well worth the effort.

[@danielwilliams9997]

If I take it to a mechanic anybody have an idea of what I’m looking at to fix. It’s an 07 Impala giving off the p1811 code

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

P1811: Maximum Adaptive and Long-Term Shift Times OBD-II Trouble Code The P1811 diagnostic trouble code usually appears when the transmission control module detects an unusually long shift time. On average, most acceptable shift time parameters are set at 0.6 seconds. Anything longer will cause the TCM to raise the line pressure, which will cause usually harsh shifts. How Serious is the Code? A P1811 diagnostic trouble code means the hydraulic line pressure has been raised to compensate for excessively worn clutches or other components. If left unchecked, this excessive line pressure can cause serious damage to other control components, making a small problem a lot worse. Symptoms Symptoms of a P1811 include: Longer than average shift times Unusually hard shifts Causes Failing pressure control solenoid/EPC solenoid Worn clutches Worn accumulators Excessive valve body wear Malfunctioning MAF sensor causing lowered commanded line pressure How to Diagnose the Code? The first step to diagnosing a P1811 DTC is to examine the condition of the automatic transmission fluid. If metal fragments are present, the problem is most likely a failed hard part like it clutch pack or drum. If no issues are discovered with the ATF, then further investigation will be needed to determine if the problem lies with a failed pressure control solenoid. Common Mistakes When Diagnosing One of the most common mistakes made with diagnosing a P1811 diagnostic trouble code, is automatically assuming that the pressure control solenoid/EPC solenoid is to blame. If the vehicle has a lot of miles on it, it may be wise to investigate the transmission for signs of other issues that could cause this problem. What Repairs Will Fix P1811? Replace pressure control solenoid/EPC solenoid Replace worn clutches Replace worn accumulators Repair valve body Replace MAF sensor

Appreciate the feed back.

[@ericknoblauch9195]

The 2000 through 2005 Impala with the 3.4 V-6, and 3.8 V-6 are prone to have a clutch inside the transmission that goes out. The problem I experienced on two Impalas was the clutch, and not the solenoids. At 65,000 miles the transmissions on those are junk. When the clutch fails, you feel a grabbing when accelerating from a stop. Then when it goes, the car does not move at all forward, or barely moves.

[@clsumjr]

I have an 06 chevy impala with V-6 engine. Just spent 3300 dollars for wear and tare stuff. The mechanic told me over the years I've taken good care of this car but stuff will wear out eventually and then you have too kick out some money. It was worth now the car only has 140800 miles on it and still running very good even the gas mileage is very good.

Im about to tackle this job with my boyfriend soon. Our 2012 chevy impala makes a whinning noise, shifts hard out of first gear, has decreased the gas mileage and is starting to have a shifting issue. I hope by changing the solenoids, torque converter pump, tranny fluid, seals (if damaged) and the tranny filter, it'll help the car.

I love my impala for comfort. Huge car & trunk. Fast . Bose speakers ( my favorite ) . But I will say the trans on my 2011 impala has gone out 3 different times . First one was off the factory line , direct from GM that lasted about 40k miles , old lady owned it . It died. Then they put in a new one , that lasted 40k with my sister owning it and taking very good care of it . Then I was on my 3rd trans before 100k miles …….. when I owned it & still do own it. GM claims it was the way I drive the car - that’s why 3 different owners have had 3 different trans , because of the way I specifically drive it ….. yea ok GM . Just admit you made shitty defective parts & still do , certain cars get them other cars are lucky & never have the issue. GM makes billions of $$ . I had to pay $2,500 for a rebuilt trans. So yea love the car HATE GM.

[@danielpalmer5138]

what was part number on the tcc solenoid?

[@mmpiforall5913]

Shift problems can return since the solenoids (are magnetic and) attract wear metals from the gears and jam up. I added many neodymium bar and disc magnets on the steel plate on the oil filter right next to the oil pick up opening. I'd add magnets to the oil pan but it is zero clearance when buttoned up. OE magnet in pan is not enough. Easy upgrade and you'll see how well it works next time you change the filter!

That may be. It's been 16000 miles and it's still going strong

Don't know if you mentioned it I fast fowarded it through sections, Clean just common grease like chassis grease, bearing grease isn't going to kill your transmission, you can take a little bit of grease smear it on the gasket (particularly that o ring gasket around the output shaft) and let that hold the gasket in place while you hold that thing sideways and put the cover on

Have to say I love Impalas, especially the older ones with the 3800 series 2 (I have an 05 Impala 9c1 with it.) But GM SCREWED UP majorly with this transmission. Again, especially coupling it with the bullet proof 3800 series 2. What good is a bullet proof engine, if the transmission is absolutely junk? Will be doing this fix on both my 05 9c1 AND my 2011 Impala LT. Cheers for the video. I do all my own labor and visual guides like this help immensely! Watch it beginning to end a few times and I can do it on the car the next day. Got my summer project. Might end up saying screw it and buy a new engine for the old cop car while I'm at it. (Yes, the 3800 series 2 is bullet proof, except when the cops abused the hell out of it.)

Cold air intake, cam, turbo, etc. But, that'll have to wait till "new" engine. No point in modding an engine with 180K+ on the odometer, and the title had 160K which took me 3 years of ownership going 100+ miles a day to exceed. (Severe mileage fraud.

The issue I have with a 2007 Chevy impala is when I try to put it in gear, reverse are forward it seems like the shift mechanism inside a transmission is broke because it doesn’t do anything. What do you suggest?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I haven't had that problem so I don't really know what to tell you. Thanks for watching

[@kevingathers4845]

Hey hope everything is still good.i just got my cover of and broke my gasket, would you be kind and relay the part number for it, thanks.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I got my gasket from Napa. I do not recall the part number or have the box it came in. Napa can hook you up

[@kevingathers4845]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina YESSSSSIR I end up going there and got the gasket thanks. All solenoids are in and cover back on and buttoned up. Going to change filter and hubs tomorrow and then test her out. Thanks for the imput.👍😎

Thanks for watching

My 07 Chevy impala reverse went out but going forward has no problems…any ideas how to fix the no reverse?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Non at all. thanks for watching

[@michellehuey9595]

2014 Chevy Impala LTz. Sputter like shifting between 1 and 2. Jo codes no lights. Will this solenoid fix my issue?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

hard to say on a case by case situation, all I know is it fixed mine. So many variables to consider.

[@GeeFontGee2]

My 2011 impala won’t move forward in Drive or 1,2,3 anymore. Only engages and moves in reverse. Changed my fluid and filter and still nothing. So I’m hoping replacing the same sensors and solenoids (like you just did here) will fix my issue. If there’s anything you can recommend please help and thank you for this video!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

yours may be a bit too far gone.

[@janraats]

You’re foreward is broken

[@mjrapreactions403]

I don't have reverse please help what do I do change selenoid or what

[@kevingathers4845]

Great video and commentary best wishes to you!!👏👏👍😎

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

1500 miles later still working perfectly.

[@drome010381]

Did you have to drain the trans pan to do this? I just changed the fluid and would rather not.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I would say that you should but I don't think you need to.

[@ernestogaribaldi.5514]

i like your presentation very good i ham traing to lacate my speed sensor for my MHP were will i faind it i have a 2012 chevy impala LTZ 3.6

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

You can do it.

[@gilbertcampbell6049]

Was it going in forward or reverse before I'm having problems with Mines not moving at all and I want to know will this help it

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

mine was driving and shifting but has some hesitation from a stop and some not so sure shifting issues.

[@callofdutywarzonegameplays4553]

Can this be done on 2012 impala LTZ?

[@tntt8567]

Mines just banged in 1st gear and won’t move in drive i have to put it in 2gear to move it has reverse what do you think should I try this looks like it’s worth a shot

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Hard to say. On mine I new the fluid had been serviced as it should have been. My problem started gradual and got a little worse. I'm not able to make any recommendations remote. I just show folks what happen to me and almost 30,000 miles later it still works fine.

[@user-wn8ep8yd5m]

I have a problem with my car every time i turn my signal on the beam all of sudden work and the doors lucks and it accelerate for no reason is it electrical issues 🤔

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

for sure it's a safety problem

[@justapro797]

@RMDCreations I'm curious, how much transmission fluid has to be replaced?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

8 quarts for mine

[@ahoorakia]

changed all those old part,but why not the transmission axle shaft seal,that is also old and dry and prone to leak?!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

it's easy to get to if it starts to leak, been 40,000 miles and it's still dry.

[@ahoorakia]

@@Michaelsbackyardmarina they may not leak,but the rubber seal is also dey and will crack,after so many years,it easier to change 5$ seal now than go through whole process of disassembling many parts to get to it

[@luiscereceres4442]

Where did you buy the new gasket

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

NAPA

[@j.cooper2246]

Well,, did this fix it it's a year later...having same issue.135,000 miles.i change fluid every 40,000 miles

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

It sure did. 24,000 later still works perfect.

[@bmxfruit]

This will work on a 2005 Buick lesabre?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

If it has the same transmission and same issues and exact same conditions. I now have over 3000 miles on the repair and it works like a champ still.
