2000 Chevy HD 4x4 Silverado Automatic Extended Cab

I own a transmission shop, and have seen this many times. You need to take it in to a transmission shop, and have some adjustments made, or find out why this is going on. I do have a quick fix, and it may even be the answer to the problem. Go to Advance Auto Parts, and purchase a bottle of some stuff called "Lube/guard" and pour it in it. This is caused a lot of the times by a sticking valve inside the valve body. The transmission will build up tarnish, and cause the valves to stick, and when they do release it causes the shift to go with a bang. Makes me wonder if the transmission hasn't over heated at one time or the other. This will cause it to get hot enough to make this tarnish on everything inside the case. Running an auxiliary trans cooler might help out, and certainly changing the fluid & filter will keep it working up to par. If the Lube/Guard doesn't do the job, then take it in to be adjusted to lower the line pressure on the shifts.
These transmissions will not last long if one doesn't keep the fluid and filter changed. If you follow the manufactures reccomendations, and change this when it should be, they will last a long time. They are real sensitive to dirt, clutch particles, and over heating. The valves sticking in one indicates it is in severe need of a fluid change.
Glad to help out, good Luck!!!

Those use the 4L60 or 4L80 transmissions. GM has had a lot of problems with those transmissions.
1 - popping out of gear and making this gawd aweful grating/grinding noise
2 - the park claw breaking and dropping down to catch while driving. Makes also a grinding noise until you slow enough that it catches and won't release again.
Good news is they are not as exspensive to rebuild as some other truck transmissions.
I don't know if I would take it to AAMCO since they tend to use cheaper parts or original GM parts. I would shop around for a good Automatic Transmission shop and have them rebuild it with good aftermarket parts. Will be cheaper then getting it done by GM who just slap a factory rebuild in there.

My husband has one and I have one. Both are the Z-71 1999 Chevy Silverado pick-ups. Both are having problems with the 4-wheel drive transmission. Sometimes when in regular mode reverse does not work or gears stick under normal driving conditions.
I have had recalls on other parts, such as fuel pump, which I am on third one now, I can not afford to replace it. Bolts breaking on front axcel. This was a recall, due to wrong factory bolts. Seat belt recall, tail gait recall.
I have always driven a Chevy, but I am not happy with this one!!
We need a recall on transmissions!!
Also, may I add, the excellorator was recalled due to carbon build up on cord. I am on third one, heater has gone out and airconditioner has been replaced. I also have had to replace shocks, when brand new it would squat when I pulled my two horse trailer
with one horse!!

the 4L60E transmissions last right around 130k miles and then they are due for a rebuild
this is what the transmission shop explained to me the last time i took them one of these transmissions from a 98 ext cab 2wd chevy pickup a few months ago, it had a little over 130k on it and cost 1000 bucks to rebuild,
it is just how it goes
transmissions dont last forever
130k is considered high mileage
its part of owning a vehicle
if you buy a gm or dodge truck with around 100-130k on it then plan on spending another 1000 bucks on it
good luck

Let me take a guess here... it is now winter and is cold outside where you live, correct? There is no problem as when it get cold out mine does the same thing, that is the way they are made. You just need to wait until it warms up or get to high enough RPM to shift. I have 114,000 miles on mine and no transmission problems. My buddy has 150,000 miles on his and no transmission problems.

1-2 harsh shifts are usually caused by a defective accumulator spring or piston. They've had this unit in production for over 20 years - obviously not enough to make it last.
