Unless you're up for the challenge of rebuilding it yourself, I'd strongly advise finding a local, reputable builder. If you have any other questions, please either start a separate thread or feel free to post them in my 6L80 Information Thread - link is in my signature line.
Trannies can come in all shapes and sizes though it’s a good thing you don’t have many of them over there; we have way too many of them over here.
It is also unfortunate that you don’t have a lot of 6L80 transmissions in your part of the world. I imagine that makes it difficult and expensive to...
@Matthew Jeschke - I'm thinking you may have somewhat stressed the forward and low reverse/reverse input clutch packs when you got on it heavy when it was low on fluid, assuming that occurred recently and the surging (slipping, delayed engagements?) was not happening until then. Your fluid looks...
Normal. My 6L80 in my 2009 Sierra does the same thing on occasion...It occurs when I tap the throttle then immediately let off and brake when coming to a stop. If it begins to happen more frequently or other symptoms begin to present, contact your builder or company that performed the rebuild...
Was your TEHCM replaced when the transmission was rebuilt last? What about the valve body - was it vac tested and a valve body correction kit installed (example would be the Sonnax Zip kit). Take a look at your paperwork if not sure.
If you do have a scanner, you'll be looking at pressure...
My guess is your pump's pressure regulator valve is beginning to wear; the TC is also likely on borrowed time. I would start planning for a rebuild sometime w/in the next few thousand miles or so as symptoms worsen.
Likewise, hope all is well with you also. My PMs are turned off so that folks don't ask me tech questions in PM as it is duplicative for me and defeats the purpose of having an open forum in the first place.
Can't really suggest anything until I have more details such as mileage on the...
Was the TEHCM replaced as part of the rebuild? If so, was it replaced with a brand new, GM TEHCM?
Were there prior issues of hard 5-4 downshift before the transmission was overhauled?
Was the valve body vacuum tested?
Any codes stored in the ECM?
Sorry, been slammed with work in the shop as of late so haven't been online as much.
I don't have any 10-speed valve bodies...I've been trying to acquire a couple 10-speed cores to learn on but it's been extremely difficult as GM is charging over $3,000 for just a core. So no one is not turning...
I haven't actually begun working on the 10 speeds for GM and Ford as of yet but planning to start this fall. That said, I'll have to take away the above and research it a bit. See if there's an obvious solution(s) that don't involve a full overhaul. False neutrals are usually indicative of...
I’m not up on what years/models have only the 10 speeds as I haven’t started building those transmissions.
That said, its impossible to tell whether or not you caught your problem in time apart from letting time pass and see what happens.
Worst case scenario, it needs to come out for...
