Ok, Whats up guys, Im new to this form, So I have a 93 Camaro Z28, 2day I was driving her a little hard when my 8 yr old son knocked it in nutral and right back into drive, I heard a pop like from car, Happened so fast idk where sound came from, But I have no 4ward gears at all, They seem just like nutural also, Does not grind, Does ot try 2 pull, Its almost like The linkage is wayy off.. Idk, Odd tranny was built not long ago. So @ like 40mph pickin up speed and was knocked outta gear and snatched back in under throttle in a LT1 z28, What breaks where i only have reverse.. So where ya guys think I ned 2 start, This is my daily driver, I need it lol

 

You're not supposed to do that! I would get under the car and have someone else run the shifter through all the gears. If the arm on the trans is moving (and you can see the shaft on the trans moving with it), then I'd say you have more serious internal problems. You might get lucky and find the linkage arm loose on the shaft, but don't hold your breath.
On a side note, I'm a father of three. So, take a good look around at all the nice things you have, and consider them to be broken, ruined, dented, banged up, or kiss them good bye altogether in the future.

 

thats what it seems like.. I have not had a chance to get underthere, Imma be drivin the iroc till fixed.. Its a auto anyway, 4L60e I belive.. Imma go 2 a 6 spd. (Nice 69 Bro) What would break 1st in tranny?? And yea my son knocked it in then outta gear hes 8 so .. Well here is my reason 2 drop engine and put my heads on I assume There iss a bright side

 

Considering you heard a pop when putting it back in gear, I'd be surprised if it was a linkage issue. Was the engine revved up when putting it back in gear, or did you let it idle down? If you didn't back off the gas, then the trans took a pretty hard shot. No forward gears at all? Have you tried manually putting the shifter in 1st and 2nd to see if you get movement?

 

I think that you have 4L60 not the 4L60e. That really limits the issue to an internal transmission issue. That fact park and reverse work correctly really puts into doubt its a shifter issue.

There is no way to be sure you lost all forward gear per say. On your trans you need to get up to speed with the correct internal pressure for the trans to even try to shift to 4th gear. When you manually shift you are simply allow the trans to shift to second, it will not shift to second until you have reached the correct govenor pressure inside the tranny.

What normally happen you blow first gear and the system will not try any of the other gears cause you can not get to speed or pressure required. You most likely blew the first gear clutch pack seal or the accumulator. Also it is possible the one way clutch came apart. Sounds like your off to the tranny shop. Another odd thing is Automatics are designed to be able to do what you did as long as your foot was not on the gas hard. You can take a car out of gear at 70 MPH and put it back in with no problem. If your RPMs jumped up you basicly are doing a tranny slam. If that is the case you may have broken the plantary gear set.

 

Ok, yea I can hold to about 3000Rpm pullin D, Nothing, down to 2 I feel and see tach change, Its very little noticable but can see rmp change just a small amount, Yea park reverse all work fine, And I was in gas a little when it was knocked outta gear and my son put in right back, Like I did not even notice it. Till I stopped only had reverse. I do belive I broke trans. But these are such a commen tranny, I can find em ez.. I wanna go 6spd, I have a donar car with pedals, all that but just time is on a limit. Will a 700R4 bolt up to my engine?? With my bellhousing maybe... I got one sittin in my friends shop got 2 look into that 1, Thanks everyone, Nice A** rides!!!!Esp. the 69.. Is that a Z??

 

oh and in my 93 Z28 there is just 2 d od cant put it in first.

 

It's a name difference. GM started calling the 700R4 a 4L60 in 1993. So yes, the 700R4 will bolt up. However, I'm not positive if there's any difference in the plugs configuration for the lockup feature. Craby has a 93 and has been through a conversion, maybe he'll flounder in here!
Yours should have the 4L60, as the 4L60E was first put in trucks in 93 and rear wheel drive cars in 94.
Thanks for the compliment, no it's not a Z.

 

Just to clairify your, automatic is in first no matter what forward gear your in. When you put our car in second that means it can not go above second, it still starts in first gear. It just will not go into 3rd gear. When you put it in drive you are still in first gear. So if first gear blows your done. The car will not even try to shift to second until you reach the correct speed. With a stock valve body you can not force a automatic into 2nd gear. I think you are imagining the RPM jump or you have a small electrical issue.

 

yea i know she starts in 1st just sayin 1 is not on shifter, so whats a 4th gen LT1 worth needing tranny, Just put this 1 4 sale
