4L60E Transmission Hard Shift? Check This first!

A cheap and easy fix if your 4L60E automatic trans is shifting hard or shifting late. Most common is a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear.

I replaced the throttle position sensor on my 95 GMC Sierra 1500. Afterwards my truck wouldn't start. Luckily I had seen another You Tube video that led me to believe the new sensor wasn't getting along with the old ignition control module. I bought a new module and replaced the old one and the truck started right up. And yes, the new throttle position sensor fixed my transmission's hard shift. I'm a very happy DIY'er!!!

Any issues ?

[@danniecarmona2509]

​@@MoMo-ps6kssame problem came back just like this guy is describing transmission shifts hard so I replaced the sensor at gas pedal sending signal to throttle body sensor when I stopped on gas. To make a long story longer that didn't fix the hard shifting.

The guy that had this truck before me kept flawless records on it so I have the entire history and the poor guy had been through the ringer trying to get that jerk with the transmission fixed and the last thing he put in the file was "Throttle Body Sensor" along with a number and some info, so he didn't get to try it before I bought it from him (at a great deal, I might add) so I'm really hoping your and his idea works, its looking good coming from both of you, at least.

Another thing if your 4l60E looses a gear do a pan drop and replace the filter and add lucas. Then if the problem persists replace Solenoids

my 1999 astro slammed into 1st/2nd for years and i changed the filter + ATF to Valvoline max synthetic and that fixed it. TPS Throttle Position Sensor. You can open the TPS and bend the metal tab back to fit stronger as new and that can fix it. Try finding that vid on youtube. Perhaps "repairing the TPS"?

[@markfothebeast]

If you're going as far as pulling the pan, it's simple enough to probe the solenoids (22ish ohms is about normal) and replace if necessary. The transmission fluid cost more to replace than a solenoid...

Alex I'm going to give that a try and report back to you and the viewers. I had a different problem with one of those throttle position switches on a Cougar I had years ago and replace it three times before I took the TB off the vehicle to see what was going on. Turns out that the throttle shaft wobbled terribly because the bushings for it were worn out. I put in new bushings and a new sensor and never had that problem again. Sadly, I had so many other problems with this pile of crap I never bought another Ford product again!

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

Yep Fords are junk

[@siaripop7]

@@alexsbikesandmotors Well, it was a great idea and I changed out the throttle position sensor but it didn't correct the problem. However, it does tell me the problem is somewhere in that area. I recently had an antifreeze leak between the intake manifold and heads that was repaired by a NAPA dealer. They had to remove the intake manifold so they may not have connected something properly because it is an intermittent problem. If I make right turns it will go away until I make a left turn, or so it seems. Along with the hard shifting is a slight lack of power, like a clogged injector, or one not getting the right signal for fuel.

[@jamesmoore3346]

I'll relate a strange one. My wife had a 2000 pontiac grand am gt. It started shifting hard enough to jerk your head back. If you put it in reverse it would jerk so hard that you thought it was going to break mounts. Also the guage cluster would go erratic. It was three days later before the check engine light came on, at that time I used the OBD scan tool, it only showed higher thaan normal voltage from the engine temperature sensor. This part cost 12$. I replaced the temp sensor and everything started working correctly. Imagine that..... The dianostic system is an open loop wired system, one sensor can affect other functions of the processor. It does happen.

I have a GMC Savana 1500 Van. I had a check engine light come on recently and took the vehicle to autozone to get the code read and it told us that it was an O2 sensor, which is still the case because I found out the vehicle has 4 of them and until i have further diagnostics to find out which sensor needs to be replaced... I then took the vehicle on a 400+ mile trip and experienced hard shifting upon my return. I am going to replace the TPS just to make sure it's not an added stress until i have further diagnostics ran.. Thanks for the advice.

[@09nedly09]

Whatever code pops up on your scanner will determine which sensor it might be. You have 1 upstream and 1 Downstream on each pipe. Pre and post catalytic converter. On my 5.7 Vortec, code 171 is bank 1 Upstream (driver side) and code 174 is bank 2 Upstream (passenger side). For example.

@Alex's Bikes and Motors. Hi Alex, We just bought our daughter a nice 1996 Pontiac Grand Am w/2.4L engine and either GM's 4T40E or 4T45E automatic transmission. Today, Sunday, I drove with my daughter on a 38x 2 76 mile round trip. On the way there, I noticed the trans shifting sorta hard int 2nd gear, every up-shift. As everyone says, I drive like an old man (which I am) but at any rate, over the past 25 years or so I've driven slower than most. Always in the right lane & at or below the speed limit. So with that said, on Friday late afternoon, 2 1/2 days ago, she came by our house so I could test drive the car. I drove it a couple miles at the way I normally drive & didn't notice it shifting hard into 2nd gear at all. But today I could sure tell it was shifting hard almost every time we started to pull away from a green light, I did ask her if it's been shifting like it was all the time. She said yes. After watching your video, which was explained well I might add, left me thinking if this may be the issue with this transmission... If she goes really slow it's not as bad but when she pulls away quick, it sure is noticeable... I'm going to send her a txt & ask her to either call me before she plans on going anywhere so I can drive to her place & drive the car when it's cold & see if it shifts hard like it did today. Since she bought it from a local used car dealer close by, I told her that there used to be a law in Michigan that did allow a buyer 72 hours to return a vehicle if it showed to have a problem like this that was not mentioned. It may or may not apply with this sale but here in Michigan it was a law, that was enforced as well.... Now going by your video, was this a normal GM issue with a lot of their automatic transmissions. I mean this car has 96k miles & for a Michigan car, it looks good & hasn't any rust issues. Just the shifting issue. Thanks for the great video upload, MD......

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

I'm not too familiar with those cars but I'm pretty sure they use the same TPS as the truck engines (part# th149), so that could be the issue. Maybe try replacing it. Are you sure the trans doesn't have a throttle valve cable? If it does it could just need adjusting. If the fluid looks good and is at the right level, and TPS or t/v cable check out good, I probably wouldnt worry too much about it. Hard shifts (within reason) don't tend to hurt transmissions in my experience. It's soft shifts and slipping you've got to worry about.

[@montydaniels1054]

@@alexsbikesandmotors Alex, I took it out Sunday & it shifts normally, almost can't even tell it's geared it's that smooth. It's just if you start off too fast it shifts hard 1st-2nd. I told m daughter, just try not stomping so hard on the pedal... I'll look today when she stops by for cable to the trans. That's probably the one advantage with FWD, everything's under the hood. Now if it is just an adjustment, it shouldn't take much but in the meantime I was ordering the tcs for it & keep my fingers crossed... Thanks for the advise & the reply. I know the people who owned it wouldn't have passed a problem vehicle to us, so I'm gonna go with, it's just a GM trans thing.....

I realllllllly effin hope you are right bud. I just had to buy a brand new 350 5.7 motor and then my trans was acting up

[@samsen201]

I have a similar problem on my Hummer H2. Right now it is not shifting at all from 1 to 2. Previously would do so if car would have a speed with very high RPM, then let to rid idle without any push on acceleration and a gentle push on pedal would make a shift from 1 to 2. What hints me that it may not be trany is that actually in first gear, transmission is running very strong, even up the hill (Unlike my other prior experience with failing transmissions, where main symptom was sliding or un willing of car to have a go, even on flat surface. So do you think my hummer problem is also Throttle Position Sensor? And if so, the hummer h2 sensor is similar to what you show here or its entirely different. Anyways thanks for your great video & sharing knowledge, especially that this can potentially save thousands of dollars.

Can this be for Buick lacrosse too? Mine shifts fast and hard after warmed up but no lights are on??😢

[@davidmartinez-lr5wi]

My overdrive is really weak and when I give it gas it pop right back in to four I wounder if this is it

[@DBThatBassMan]

So what's the part name ?.

[@yurielmeraz4116]

[@BrandonDix-ho4cy]

So I'm having a problem of where after I drive it for a good 30 minutes to an hour. I noticed when I come to red lights and then go and shift into first I can feel it like a little hit when it goes into it. Wondering if it's this?

[@entoletao]

Thanks for sharing. It worked for me.

I have a 98 Blazer and when I put it in drive it drives it self like it forces me to drive it's a weird I replace the mass flow air sensor

My Astro Van is having issues with this transmission. The motor starts but have to press gas pedal to floor, when starts runs high rpms for a minute or two and when driving on high way it will not shift to over drive. Hope this is the problem.

Didn’t work for me. But I’ll post what it is when I get it fixed.

Samein in my 1997. I git a Bluetooth code reader and every time It’s jump out of over drive I clear the fault Codes and it goes right back in. Something to do with computer

The Funny thing is it doesn’t ever say there’s even a code being thrown. But even when you clear it it shifts back to overdrive

If my truck is downshifts hard into first when coimg to a stop. Would this possibly help? I have a 2009 4.8 Silverado

[@nathangarrison3940]

My transmission shifts hard from 1st to second after driving it awhile and when I turn it off for 20 secs and start it back up it’s fine Any help appreciated

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

that's exactly what mine did when the TPS went bad. Trans is overriding the tps and shifting as hard as possible, but turning the ignition on and off resets it.

[@PatinaChevy56]

I've got a 2013 Silverado and I've been getting a TPS code periodically. My transmission has started hesitating on the downshift. I wonder if this might be my problem.

Hey man! Like you said not just truck but any GM vehicle with 4L60E I have this exact same problem with my 2003 corvette, it shifts at like 5-6k rpms and it throws me into 2nd gear! I may give this a look.

[@angelgarcia9719]

Nice boos, work for you???

[@LukeHoldeman]

Wow good call man. Thank you.

[@dragan3290]

Would this cause erratic shifting? Mine doesn't slam feels ok ish but sometimes feels like a new transmission, sometimes it slurs on upshift. And sometimes lazy to kick back! If I change manually it feels responsive and seems better when up shifting! Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia 🙂! Great information!!

Think this is happening to my 04 Tahoe... hard shifts to 2nd gear... now it’s starting to slip an notice abs and TC light came on but after about 2 minutes it went off...

[@EKDannyH2B]

Did this work for you I have a 2001 Tahoe shifting second gear hard

[@bigdanish]

Danny Ordaz I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and put it back... it’s been fine since... still shifts a little hard going to second but no lights an I have had least put 400 miles on the Tahoe from when I disconnected the battery

[@chemicalspore]

can you put a link as to where you bought this

[@phillipmota5945]

Just changed mine and no difference. I don't even have a CEL. She just revs up like its 5 speed then I have to let off the gas so it shifts.

[@woodworm3615]

Question: At a stop light. Its a 4l60e trans. Light turns green. I start to accelerate ... Then suddenly a "clunk" comes as I slowly accelerate from trans? Do you think thats the switch? Ill check fluid level tomorrow for sure.

[@charlesgalloway7423]

If awd drive goes out an you only have rear wheel drive will that affect how it shifts

Good question i would like to know the answer to because I'm having the same issue and mine is 4wd. But it doesn't work! Front wheels have no power even tho I can hear it engage. If you found an answer to that please let me know? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm going to do it to my 2004 chevy, if it fixes it then I'm going to say that the tranny shop that said I needed a rebuild are jack-asses.

On cold starts sometimes my trucks wants to slam into gear. Anybody have that problem to please let my know very frustrated with this issue

[@peteloomis8456]

My 09 does this when it's cold & if I let it warm up good before I drive it it goes in gear easy like it should or once driven & warm it's normal ! It shifts fine when cold but has a hard engagement when cold not warmed up some times going from park to drive so I have been looking to see if anyone else is having this same problem but I am not seeing much at all other than hard shift points in the transmission going from 1&2 or other shift points but nothing on initial engagement going from park to drive at all !

[@neo11173]

I'm not having this problem but can someone explain why its shifting from 3rd to 4th so quickly with normal driving to where when I give it throttle it is forced to kick back down to pick up speed? Will try this cheap fix to see if it will make a difference, thanx.

[@jonaswudkwych3615]

Just wondering mine shifts hard 1-2 but usually only after long trips (60min +) and does some weird things with the throttle from time to time when I’m keeping the peddle level and the truck is reading transmission slippage did yours do the same thing with the engine code?

[@nathanpavlichko4476]

Same with me

[@markfothebeast]

Same issue here. Once the transmission reaches about 170F it slams in to 2nd gear real hard. But once back on the highway it cools down and shifts normally. So it only does this when it heats up. My truck is also equipped with a stock external transmission cooler. It did give me a code which I researched. In the GM service manual I found a technical service bulletin about replacing something in the transmission valve body (or something like that) to fix the issue.

[@alexandermaravilla4528]

Mine only has a delay when I put it in drive and then takes a couple seconds to engage then I can drive please tell me it’s that sensor so I can go buy it tomorrow 😢

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

No a bad tps wont make it delay into drive

[@mrbreezeet1]

Did you have a Check engine light and TPS associated codes, or did you just decide to try a new TPS? Here's where I'm at! 2001 Grand Prix with a 3.1-liter motor, started idling high after good and warmed up. No codes at the time though. When motor would idle too high, 4T65E trans would shift super late under light throttle. About 25 MPH and 2,500 RPM before it would hit 2nd. gear. Was OK the next day. 3rd. day, high idle and late shift again! This time the check engine light did come on. Code P0121. Scanner TPS angle percentage at idle shows 0 sometimes, and sometimes 0.39% and ~ 100% at WOT. One time while sitting there idling fine, ~ 700 RPM, all at once the idle kicked up to ~1,300 RPM all by itself and I looked at the scanner, now TPS angle percentage went up to 2.75%. From my readings it looks to me like the sensor IS receiving the 5V reference, and my ground in good, and my reference voltage is changing and being sent back to the ECM. My voltmeter is at my buddy's garage right now, so I could not do any voltage testing at the TPS connector itself. I'm ready to take a chance based on my findings, and just install a new TPS. What do you think?

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

Sometimes a bad tps will throw a code but sometimes they dont. A new tps is cheap. You could try replacing it and see what happens.

[@mrbreezeet1]

@@alexsbikesandmotors Yeah, I did replace it last week, actually F'd up worse for a while. Then went back to same issue. It's intermittent though. Fellow at one of my discussion groups thinks it's the low reference ground return wire, from the TPS, back to the ECM. The Black wire, terminal B at the TPS. Didn't find anything yet though.

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

@@mrbreezeet1 if u replaced tps with a known good tps and youre still getting tps codes, youve got a broken wire, shorted wire, bad ground, bad ecm or some combo of these

[@mrbreezeet1]

@@alexsbikesandmotors Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I think it's the ECM generated ground wire terminal B to terminal 61 at the ECM

[@mrbreezeet1]

No check engine light at first but check engine light finally popped on for a while and gave me a pending TPS code off p0121. I then later got a pending code of p0101 mass airflow sensor code but I think it was due to the TPS.
