hello yall, so I went to put a corvette servo and a longer pin in my 4l60e in hopes of tightening the band clearance and getting 2nd gear back. I did the whole job and didnt get the snap ring back in all the way. I got about a mile down the road and the trans fluid was dumping out.
I limped it home in 1st and got it seated correctly. I forgot to top off the trans fluid(lost about 2 quarts) and went for a test drive.
No cracks in the housing from what I saw and the cap didnt come off all the way.
Was a couple miles down the road when I smelled a burning smell, followed by loosing every gear. I pulled over shut the truck off and my brother brought me trans fluid when I realized where I messed up.
i was able to get the truck home and it actually does have 2nd gear but now 3rd and 4th gear are totally gone, just free revs.
So I went to double check my work and pulled the servo back out. I noticed right away the 4th gear piston seal totally ripped up and definitely was not sealing right, so I have a new seal on the way.
My question is do you guys think this seal is what is causing me to loose 3rd and 4th or do yall think running low on trans fluid burned up the clutch pack?
