Hi, good vid though i don't know why you make band adjustment with no pump in. You can see the drum/ shaft move when you apply air. Have you thought about checking after you set the servo shaft length with the tool and pump in, also fit the 4th cover and snap then use dial indicator to cover see how much the cover moves in away from snap ring at rest. This is how I set my transmissions. I have found too long I won't get the snap in and if it just rolls in without force its dam near right.. Plus backyard builders would benefit with such knowledge. more than 1 way to skin a cat.
I see a big hair by the anchor lol. I'd probably be happier having it on the tight side so the 2-4 would grab better. Now I see that tool work now I want one. That is so fast and easy. What I like about your videos I see you doing things you don't see others do.
Hey I have a problem with my 2002 4l60e fresh rebuild but I don’t have a second gear it rev’s high in first shift straight to third and then shift to overdrive. I can’t mainly shift to second either it’s like it in neutral. I put a Corvette servo in it shifts faster still skip second.
If you have a check engine light, you need to diagnose that first. But I'd be looking at a shift solenoid or a missing/cut seal on the 2-4 Servo. The other possibility is the 3-2 downshift valve in the valvebody is in backwards or checkballs missing or in the wrong holes...
Ok thanks no check engine light I took it to a shop they put a scanner on it not a really expensive one but a good one and he drove it the only feedback from him with out going into the transmission is it’s has no second gear
@coffeeblack5577 okay, well I gave you some things to look at without taking trans out, which I don't think you will need to, especially since you have 4th
Thats a btte explanation video than lsat one, but I've already installed trans! But that ok have a great shift, ( a little tigh,which is just what I wanted) Only problem,musta tore converter seal when goin up oh well somethin todo! Thanx again fortakin time to do the videos. joe😄
Need help I tried air checking my band and servo and the video I saw show band moving on both sides my band moves only on one side? Is it because of the anchor being in on that side probably? It's the box wrench 2-4 servo video. It's worrying me alittle any advice would be appreciated thanks man.
You may not see any movement from the anchor side. Thats nothing to worry about as long as the band is not in a bind and the hole of the band is resting on the anchor pin...
@@IrocinZ if pin is too long will it cause that? Im gonna have to buy one of those Kent Moore tools it's worth not ruining the transmission band after putting it in the truck..
If that distance to the line is off would it cause a delayed shift between 2500 and 3000 rpm . I’m having a delay 3rd gear shift and holding a steady rpm at 3000 to get the shift to 3rd.
Not necessarily. It would cause more of a slip than anything. The delay can be more caused by a sticky valve or pressure issue or just the programming in the PCM/TCM.

@@robpaul7900 Lots of PB Blaster, soaking, and if you can smack the cover in the center with a hammer to dislodge the cover, it would help the snap ring come loose....
@@IrocinZ hey I have another question been soaking in penetrating oil wire brushing. Still can't get my cover to move, is there a chance I could pry snap ring out without pushing in the cover? Or is that not gonna work? My transmission is still in the truck so it's hard to be able to swing a hammer too hard but I need a plan to get this snap ring out any ideas?
No, the spacer is to protect the aluminum of the servo from brinelling by spreading the load at contact. You still have to set the pin depth the same way...
Unfortunately, no on both questions. I understand it is pricey. I'm sure inflation hasn't helped. You might see if a local transmission shop has one they'd let you use...
Do you know a part number or year to get the soft plastic input housing to output shaft bushing? Mine shattered while putting my 700r4 back together. I dont know what happened. But I dont want to use the hard plastic again.
Hello, I have a truck with a 700r4 transmission. I had a shop rebuild it two years ago but haven’t drove the truck until recently. I found that there was 2 issues. 1- the trans will not go into second gear, at all, ever, under any circumstances, it’s like 2 doesn’t exist. The other issue is I couldn’t hold 4th gear, I could shift into 4th on the highway but it would always kick into 3 with light throttle. I checked the Governor, it’s good and miss freely. I also checked the servo and found the seals damaged from improper installation. I replaced the servo with a corvette servo (mostly to get the new seals) and 4th gear now works great! However I cannot get the trans to shift into 2nd under any circumstances. Any idea what I should look at or replace next?
I have a gauge coming this week so I can test the line pressure. However the transmission is like not even trying to engage second gear. It’s not like the band is slipping, it just doesn’t even attempt to go to 2. If I manually shift from 1-2, go from 3-2, or try to start and drive in 2, it just doesn’t even try to go to second. Any tips or advice will be appreciated. I’m going to check the pin travel after work tonight
I would be checking for a missing checkball in the valvebody or possibly stuck valve. Its odd that you have 4th and not 2nd. It can also be caused by weak line pressure or the TV cable not hooked up, misadjusted. Other than that, with out doing diagnosis hands on, hard to say for sure. But those are the things that I would check.
I have a problem with@ 2006 4l60 sometimes instead of going from 1 to 2 she goes in neutral then I need to come to a complete stop and place it in park then to Dr then she fine for awhile ....any ideals thanks and she has no codes I'm a sub
Sounds like there might be a valve sticking in the valve body, or a shift solenoid dying. Does it matter if the trans is hot or cold or is it completely random?
Every time it's done it fluid should be hot and yes it's completely random some times I can drive all week and no problems then other times it may happen 3 times in same week
Thanks for the video. I just had a 700r4 rebuilt and what is happening is a delayed shift to 4th gear. I have adjusted the detent to where the trans shifts great in every gear, I get full throttle right as the cable bottoms out but 4th is sloppy to engage. If I pull it 1/8 or so more, the 4th gear engagement will be better but then I'm causing the other gears to shift later and I'm losing full throttle. What do you think?
@Irocin Z So my 3rd and 4th gears keep slipping. Is that something a corvette servo can fix or is the transmission going out? I can get up to speed. But as soon as I apply gas. It slips. Tried adjusting the TV cable too.
Yes they do. But using the tool in the factory method has never failed and very repeatable. Its just how I prefer to set them up... The principle is the same, not too loose it doesn't apply, and not too tight it burns up the band....
Im having an issue where if I go from a stop sign and apply throttle it'll move forward in 1st up to around 4-5k and then shift to second. If I release gas pedal at 2.5k it shifts smooth as it used to. Not sure what this could be so I've been chasing down leads on the youtube all day. You seem super knowledgeable and you actually respond to comments. Does this problem sound like anything you've heard of?
@@IrocinZ Im not aware of what overdrive you mean but it doesn't have a push button or anything like my fords did. Speedo works and it shifts into all prnd321 perfectly on the column and all gears function and do what they should. The fluid was down a little but color was typical ran through but not burnt. It has no check engine light on at all
@@chuckplainview4085 The "d" on your shift indicator is overdrive. Third gear is 1:1. How much throttle are applying from your stop sign? One quarter, 1/2, 3/4, or hurry up, I got to go?

Fantastic! I'm glad it's helping you!
Thanks, most people won't show as much.
You're welcome
I’m having a 2-3 slide while accelerating on a fresh rebuild, what could that be?
Most likely, its an internal leak. Either in the 3-4 clutch setup or the 2-4 servo, which is also the accumulator for the 2-3

That is preset and no adjustment should be made. As far as adjusting it once its been tampered with, I'm not sure...

Put a tighter spring in the 3-4 accumulator, which will require the valvebody to be dropped...
