4L60E SERIES TRANSMISSIONS


HARSH 1-2 & 3-4 SHIFTS

COMPLAINT: After overhaul, an extremely harsh 1-2 shift is felt as well as a very firm 3-4 shift, this was not
an original complaint.

CAUSE: The accumulator valve sleeve located in the valve body was installed 180 degrees out of
position. This blocks D4 oil (line pressure) and torque signal to the accumulator valve. This
prevents the valve from supplying regulated accumulator pressure to the 1-2 and 3-4
accumulator pistons. When a shift into 2nd and 4th is made, 2nd gear and 4th gear oil is routed
to their respective accumulator pistons. Without having regulated accumulator pressure
opposing band apply pressure, the accumulator pistons bottom out in the bore causing the
band to apply abruptly.

When the sleeve is 180 degrees out of position as shown in Figure 1, the end of the roll pin
cannot be seen.

CORRECTION: When the sleeve is in its correct position, the end of the pin can be seen (Figure 2). This
positions the feed ports in the sleeve to face the valve body passages (Figure 2) allowing D4
oil to be regulated into accumulator pressure supplying the accumulator pistons with
pressure to oppose band apply pressure for a controlled apply of the band.
