'95 should be a 4l60e,if it's the original tranny. Scanner may or may not diagnose a problem with the shifting. Your VIN ,compnine.com, will give you detailed info on your truck. Interior,paint codes, engine, tranny, gear ratio's and even how many of that particular build were built. RESEARCH, there is a lot of info on the net. You just have to dig and skulk around the net.

Not much on the 480LE but can you manually shift through all the gears?

well i just called a tranny shop and he said that the clutch pacs r out and that he would rebuild it for 1200 - 1900 depends what he finds out and that is him pull it and put it

TURFKING · 08-06-2011, 05:36 PM

Could be the shift solenoids or it could be something as simple as changing the tranny fluid. Scan that rascal! Tranny shop is next stop.

were is the shift solenoids at u think if u replace the fluid and filter would help and if i take it to any shop that has a scanner they could do it

TURFKING · 08-08-2011, 07:14 PM

You need to do some research online. gmtruckhq.com The shift solenoids are on bottom on tranny but you have to pull the pan and really know what you are looking for before you start fiddling around with things. There are manuals for the 4l60e but they are shop repair manuals and not knowing what you are doing can cause you a lot of grief!!!!!
