Subject: | 4L60E M30, 4L65E M32 Transmission - Leaking and or Broken Trans Case at the 2-4 Servo Cover |
Models: | . |
When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.
The 4L60E/4L65E automatic transmission may experience a leak, inoperative/slipping in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears or no movement (no forward or reverse) due to excess fluid loss. This condition normally occurs at low mileage, usually under 1,000, and diagnosis may show a cracked or broken case at the 2/4 servo bore. This condition may be caused by a 2/4 servo cover retaining ring that was not fully seated during transmission assembly. Pressure from the servo cover against the partially seated retaining ring can cause the case to crack or break.
If the fluid level drops due to the leak, it is likely that the 3/4 clutches will be damaged. This condition can usually be repaired by replacing the case and any damaged clutches.
