Re: 4L60E Trans Shifts hard from 1st to 2nd?

from the Heart of Arkansas!

Looks like you been wandering the halls of old posts, looking for some help. We also have a separate forum just for engines and drivetrains. You might consider a new topic post on that forum and see what happens.

As for soft shifts, I don't have any answer. How long has it been since your transmission was serviced? Usually, 60K mile intervals are recommended. My experience with filters that are getting past their prime was limited to my '64 Bonneville, about 40 years ago. In that case, I'd back it out of my parking spot, shift to drive and wait for everything else to make the shift, too. Changing the fluid and filter fixed that problem.
