4l60e not shifting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 4l60e and 350 out of a 93 chevy k1500 all stock and the comper is stac as well. I used a avanced adapters kit to adapt it to my np231. When i took it out for a taest drive today for first time it will not shit out of 1st. any ideas? How do i test the speed senser that came with the kit to make sure its working? It is a two wire sending unit. It is not turning on the check engin light so looking for ideas

Today i made sure i am getting a signal to the speed buffer from the vss. ran a ground from batery to top of transmition. still not shifting. i have 1st and reverse. if i put it in 2nd i only have second. move it to 1st 3rd or 4th it goes to 1st gear. any ideas?

is the speedo hooked up?
the reason i ask is when i did that swap i had to put in a new sensor and reluctor(sp?) ring in the tail shaft housing.

The speedomider is hooked up to a sensencer on trans case and speed buffrer is hooked up to a sencer on the tai houseing of transmition that came with the adpter kit

Trans codes generally won't set check engine lights or come up with a code in flash diagnostics. Put a scanner on it, go to the transmission section and look for codes and data.
To me it sounds like you are not getting a clean speed signal to the case, thus resulting in the no upshifts out of first in D and OD range.
Manual low is first only
2nd in a 4l60e is second only, unlike a 700 that will shift first to second.

wow, your spelling is actually hurting me.:laughing:
I think Lumpdog is on the right path. Make sure you have your reference voltage etc...

my speed sensor on my 4l60-E didn't kick in on the diagnostic until I hit about 20mph. The symptoms you have are identical to the ones I experienced when I was having issues with the speed sensor. I had to replace my buffer once already but the only way I was able to check mine was with an o-scope. You should get a nice square wave out of it.
When you are using the scanner you have to specifically look at the signal from the VSS.
