This is %100 Legit. I have a 2017 GMC Yukon with 88K. These exact symptoms, strong reverse, no forward gears. No code, not burned, not slipping. I bought the service kit at the dealer, $28, easy. Dropped the pan and valve body, had to loosen the right exhaust at the manifold. My ball valve was clearly half size, clearly stuck. New fluid and filter. Carefully aligned the electrical plug and the shifter plunger. Works like a dream. No doubt this person saved me 4-5 thousand dollars. My clutches were not worn, barely anything in the pan. Wife stunned. Can't thank this person enough.

Extremely grateful for this video, Saved our customer lots of money and gained their confidence, other shop’s telling her change the transmission, we took a chance and saved them Thousands on unnecessary expense. Can’t thank you enough

Thank you so much for this video, 2017 chevy silverado 2500 6.0 had no trouble codes stored, randomly i would not move forward, only reverse, did as you specified on video, issue was fixed, one of the plastic balls had decreased significantly in size to the point it got stuck, poor design that is making GM lots of money, PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD BE GETTING SOME MONEY FROM GM. Thank you for taking your time to post this amazing video.

Thank you for the fix . My 2017 suburban transmission lost forward. And I bought all the parts that you showed and now my transmission works like a dream . Thanks again and may God bless

Awesome Buddy! Had the same thing on a 2010 Cadillac for a customer. I found this and it was exactly that! THANK YOU! (Y)

Hell of a video man. Fixing to do this on my brothers truck. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! This just happened to my 2017 Silverado 1500 crew cab 90k miles. Called three mechanics all said it was the transmission. $2500, $3000, $4500 quotes!…. Found your video, decided to give it a shot since truck showed no prior symptoms before not going forward at a red light, reverse worked perfectly. $180 later, 5hrs of time… and she’s running as smooth as before!… once again, Thank you!

Glad to hear!

thanks for the info and video. I'll try this tomorrow and hopefully save $4800!

You my friend have saved my day.

I just had this happen on my 2011 Suburban. Freshly rebuilt 40k miles ago. Fluid not burnt at all, no codes, no fwd gears but reverse is fine. Pulled the valve body and everything still looks new and undamaged. Turns out the 1-2-3-4 piston cracked and presents the same symptoms. You can check this when you drop the valvebody to see if the check balls are the issue. 1-2-3-4 feed is the forward most hole next to the filter hole on the trans where you just removed the valvebody from. It should be super tight and hold air with very minimal leakage. If you hear it dump air you have a cracked piston. Gm has 4 different revisions of it since it is such a problem and sonnex makes a nice billet upgrade for less than $100.

Do you have a video showing the complete process? Breaking down the valve body, placing the plastic balls and everything?

Foo fighters, nice background music!

Great information

Got a 1999 gmc suburban & worked perfect, just changed filter & everything was running real good, no hard shifting gears, smooth gear change & came down a hill & turned & accelerated & NOTHING, would not go forward at all but has reverse. No whining noise, no rough gear change, just no longer have forward gears. Reverse works perfect. It's the 4L60E I think

Could be stuck valve in the valve body, could be a stuck check ball, or could have mechanical failure. Start with dropping the pan and go from there.

I’am writing to express my gratitude for the valuable information you provided in your recent video. I found it to be very informative and helpful. However, I do have a question regarding a certain situation I am currently facing. Recently, I noticed that the transmission in my truck was not functioning properly. After repairing it, the transmission works fine until it reaches around 170 degrees and then it throws a code. (p0741 - torque converter clutch system stuck off) Prior to this issue, the truck was running properly with no problems. The problem started with the transmission falling out of gear twice within 20 minutes of each other when starting to move forward after a stop light. I have not noticed any other symptoms. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on the matter. Any insight or advice you could provide would be very helpful.

I did my 17 express van in my driveway. 73k miles. Dealership wanted 1k. The check ball was $4.50. 10m inverted plus was 17.00. 3 hrs to complete. No need for the new plate. The balls are shit. I did replace the trans filter too.

Thanks man awesome video. Do you know what the actual kit is called? Thank you.

I have a goes into reverse no drive situation not sure if 1, 2, 3 work but the D don't work, as I'm just starting working on a 94 Explorer and tomorrow I'll be pulling tire off to get it jacked up to get rid of a pancaked tire with dry rot sidewalls

Thank you sir

Common causes of this condition-broken sprag in the low reverse clutch stack in the BOTTOM of the center support, cracked 1-2-3-4 piston, stuck check ball in separator plate, bad TEHCM, and the number one cause of loss of ALL movement-both forward and reverse (usually when fluid/trans is hot) is the torque converter coming apart. I build these units every single day and I LOVE them! They are great units, they just have a few quirks. For those of you going in to replace the white plastic check balls-buy .250" TORLON check balls from your local trans supplier.. They will last significantly longer than the white plastic check balls GM utilizes. They are a caramel or brown color. That's what we use at my shop.

I have a 6L90 that torque converter went bad and I replaced that and the filter. I still have no movement with It forward or reverse however if I put It in manual select It won’t move until I tell It to shift to a higher gear then It moves for 20 seconds then nothing again until I change gears again. Think this could be the problem?

@@ryanbrady5552 When the converter goes bad you need to do a full rebuild to include a new pump, or machine the original pump, install BOTH shift kits-to account for wear of the pump pressure regulator valve, and at minimum replace the pressure blisters on the TEHCM... replace the filter/screen plate on the TEHCM, replace the bonded pistons, replace all bushings... Once the converter goes bad-you have metal throughout the entire unit... Replacing JUST the converter is not just gambling... it's throwing away your money. You tried a short cut and unfortunately, it's just not going to work out for you... Most likely you have valves stuck/sticking in the valve body from the metal coming out of the converter... That's just a GUESS.. I would never, and have never, just attempted to replace just the converter when one has failed... Too much collateral damage inside the unit to get away with doing just that. Best of luck with your project.

Any suggestions for if you go through all this and it turns out the check balls are all fine?

I followed all this step and my check ball’s wasn’t stuck. So now what other options I got?

2012 Silverado, backed out of shed, washed, Service traction control and Stabiltrack messages came up. Turned them off. Went to put back in Shed, Had reverse gear, no line under gear readout (Auto). No acceleration in forward gear (I could feel) where it was. Left on lawn, stewed over it all night. Got up early. Started up, put in gear (little selector) line showing up. Straight into shed. Told possible TCM. ? Any ideas ? before I phone Eastern States tomorrow. We are in regional Western Australia and little to no service here. Possibly have to truck to Perth.

My son had an issue while driving his 15 silverado with a 6L80, just acted like it was in neutral. Hauled it to a transmission shop and they replaced the transmission with a new one (approx $4K). Test drove it-not right, tranny replaced again. Has been fine for about a month and suddenly has no forward or reverse gears. We're looking for someone else who will cover the warranty. Any suggestions on what may have happened?

Hey what is the proper name for those part as well as the name for the plastic balls.

I haven't drove my Tahoe because of this same issue mechanics say it's the transmission that it will cost me 4,800 bucks I've been stressing can you show a video of how you did the whole process? T.I.A GOD BLESS

I just bought a 2015 6L90 core for my swap for $300. The guy stopped at a gas station, turned it off. When he came out nothing. Wouldn't go into forward or reverse. Hmmm maybe that shift lever problem that is happening where it pops out of park or won't come out of parkm ?

Can u upgrade to metal check balls

I'm having this exact same issue as of yesterday in my 2015 Chevy SS Sedan with the 6L80E. I can reverse just fine, but when I put it in drive or 1st gear, it scoots forward very slowly like molasses, and even when I floor the gas pedal while in drive, it just revs really high and the engine starts to sputter and damn near shuts off. I'm hoping I can get this fixed soon!! Very stressful for me right now since I just had a baby 2 weeks ago, and I'm down to one car now! Smh

So your transmission is potentially slipping and you thought that "flooring the gas pedal" would be something smart to do... Interesting... For those of you who don't know better-if you ever think your transmission is slipping DO NOT EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES stomp the gas pedal... If it is slipping you will instantly and permanently destroy whichever clutch pack was slipping requiring a full rebuild... DO NOT do this.. If it's slipping get OFF the gas, not ON it... If it's slipping baby it as best you can until you can get into it to see what was causing the slipping.. Slipping means certain death.. Flooring it while slipping is like slamming your male reproductive parts in your car door just to see what the results will be.
