Hey ya'll, so I just picked up a 1994 chevy suburban with the 350 engine and 4l60e. When I put it in drive it feels like its stuck in second or third gear. It takes off slow like its under powered then drives fine around 20-30 then gets up to 3k-35k rpms if your faster like around 50mph. I thought the tranny was messed up so I tried putting it into 1,2,3 gears manually they all worked fine. Just wondering if i can get some help on when its not shifting when I am in drive. I called a few local shops and was told it could be the TPS sensor or ignition switch is bad and not giving the tranny the correct voltage. Any ideas or where to start?
Thanks!

Sounds like the same problem I had in a 2000 S10. Transmission stuck in second. It threw a code for 1-2 shift solenoid. I changed both while I was in there. After that it shifted fine.

Thanks for the help guys. I pulled the codes for the SES light and got 81 which was a 2-3 solenoid. Ill have to go swap in a new one and see if that helps.
