For those who want to see the common "Breakage" of 4L60E's ...pics inside.
Long story short, Buddy of mines sister,is a single mom w/2kids. No 1st. or reverse in her car, so John asked me for a fAv.
I have built & rebuilt everything under the sun....except transmissions.
Here it is, 4L60E, common breakage is the Sunshell. Teeth usually strip out or the flange breaks off. In this case, Flange broke.
This is a "Freebie", so I"m just doing a quick fix, replacing the sunshell, filter, gasket,seals & pump oring/seal than going back together. Figured I'd post pics for the guys that never seen the inside of one. This is my last "good deed" for the year...I hope!!! lol

what did you break? there are upgrades to fix the common breaking parts. Like a monster sunshell, 5 pinion planetary set, etc..

Actually meant to type 1st. & reverse... dont know why i typed 4th.
And usually the symptoms are 1st. & reverse. I guess depending on where its broken, may change which gears you loose.

Nice pics and info!
have a 98 jimmy, shudders going into reverse the first time when its cold and sat over night. any insights? i heard it might be a seal or something with the pump. just had the fluid changed and still does the same. also second seems really 'soft' it used to jump into second like a shift kit but not anymore its really soft and a slow shift.
