Impala 2009 Gears won’t shift in Drive but Will Shift in Reverse.

Hello guys! My Impala 2009 apparently has a bad transmission. But before going in deep into switching it out I want to make sure that it’s not just the shift solenoide or pressure sensor or something meaningless. Leave down in the comments your experience and let me know how you fixed it! Thank you for watching! 💯

[@Arabsmexican]

Ok ,, to fix it , you need to open the transmission pan and change the transmission supply line . So easy to fix it , google transmission supply line and u will know what am talking about . That’s will save u 600 dollar mechanic fees. 35 minute job. Thumbs up plz , thank u

[@c-foerillakingpin3938]

Hey I have A 2007 Chevy impala LT And I'm have a problem shifting backwards and forward. Sometimes it takes a while for it to shift what could that be? I only paid 700$ for the car and they just put a transmission in the car before I brought the car

I know this information is a bit late for the guy who posted the video, but its a very common problem with the 4T65E transmissions. No forward gears work. Only the reverse. Most likely culprit is the 1-2 Band. Not a job to DIY for the timid I'll tell you what. Dealing with it myself at the moment. Leaning towards replacing the transmission since who knows what all else will be gettiing ready to break in transmission. On my 2008 Uplander which uses the same transmission as the Impala's 4T65E there is a trick to get you 3rd gear back. Very simple. Simply unplug your TCM. The Transmission Control Module/Unit. Easy enough to verify what I am telling you about the BAND issue with other KZbin videos. Search em and find them. Here is one to get you started. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3XWc3aCftBlndU Just in case that link does not work just search youtube with the following key entries... 4T65E, No Forward

[@jessebrown9046]

I'll have to try that with my range rover, it won't move in D at all but you can feel R catch but it wont move either, I think it might be the TC but none of the drive or propshafts move at all

[@thedolphin1247]

@@jessebrown9046 ... By unplugging the TCM it somehow releases the one mechanical default gear which is third gear. Also referred to as LIMP MODE. You can use the vehicle for a good long while with just 3rd gear. Just go easy on it. No fast accelerations and try to keep your RPMS no higher than 2000. In other words, don't be a lead foot on the accelerator. As long as the pump in the transmission is working you won't hurt anything although using third gear constantly will wear it out much quicker. Not sure how long, or how soon it will wear it out, but I'm still going strong driving it daily now for months. I managed to procure a good transmission jack. I'm going to try to find a replacement transmission from a vehicle to pull myself and do a swap out rather than replace the bands in mine. The tear down and rebuild to replace the bands is far too intimidating for me and besides a kit to rebuild it would cost a pretty penny. Better to find a replacement you can pull yourself. Even then there are several different versions of the 4T65E, so you have to be very careful to get a compatible one that fits your vehicle.

[@W.A.R.R.]

Band issue will still have 1st and 2nd.

[@thedolphin1247]

@@W.A.R.R. Not when all the bands are broken. I found a pr5ofessional who specializes in rebuilding the 4T65E and has done so many over the years he can usually pin point a diagnosis by way of the symptoms. 9 times out of 10 its the bands. Not quite always, but close enough. There is a manufacturing defect with the 4T65E that invariably leads to it. There is also an aftermarket upgrade kit to prevent it from ever happening again. Actually there are several upgrade kits to correct that and two other deficiencies and all three are dirt cheap.

[@2legit2quit70]

I'm really nervous about taking mine in. Some shops are shady and will charge you for a new transmission but I'm hoping my shop I go to will be honest.

[@luisviescas1084]

So what happened?

[@zachchiarella4955]

Low oil pressure has nothing to do with the transmission that's the oil in your engine

[@mykalbrowne9565]

My 2009 Impala shifts in reverse, and I can drive forward if I shift manually through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Then I can put the car in drive until I have to stop.

[@justmythoughts2786]

Did you ever find out the problem

That's what I do, now it's being rebuilt. 214k miles, they don't last forever guy's

[@saularrieta2997]

Check if it’s the transmission oil feed tube. I had this same problem but I ended up knowing what was wrong with it and it was the oil feed tube my tube was in a different piece. So I ended up putting a new and it cost me $150 since I got my discount on napa.

Sorry guys I kind of left this behind! So I took my car in to transmission discounters and pretty much had a bad transmission they we’re charging me like 4,500 to install a new one between other fees i guess.. that was a few years back. That same year I uploaded this video. If you’re having trouble with your car at this time in 2022 might me more expensive since the market is higher for used cars so keep us posted if you had an estimate for future people who come upon this video.

Remove the transmission pan. There will be some 1/4 steel pipes with flanges on them. It probably broke a pipe take it off have it welded and it should fix your problem.

[@Dagreat12d]

Actually it’s not your TCM would trip a code warning light…. I had mine replaced and it still did it I think it’s more of a pressure sensor or a solenoid

[@stevenshore5418]

The transmission routinely gets too hot because stupid GM made some cars with the radiator end caps on the sides instead of the top and bottom. Therefore they have to put the transmission cooler in the side oriented vertically instead of in the bottom horizontally. The radiator is 30 degrees hotter in the top than the bottom--about 215 versus 185. The upper part of the transmission cooler is always too hot. Transmissions need to stay below 200. An auxiliary cooler will prevent 90% of the problems if installed soon enough before too much damage is done. Dumb ass GM engineers.

[@2stayfly101]

Guys the problem with these transmission they come with a problem and everybody wanna know the answer is to change out all the shift solenoid and the output shaft sensor make sure you not getting transmission to hot and Make sure there are no naked wires that’s causing a short to transmission
