    has anyone had this problem with while trying to accelorate when tranny down shift it kicks. i lost my foward gear, i felt the kick but it continued driving for about 10 miles with no problems, until i got to a stop light and when i tried to drive foward it wouldnt move. it will go in reverse but not foward. anyone have any ideas? there was no fluid leaking but fluid level was low i filled it back up but still nothing. fluid seems to be clean. im at a loss

    the forward sprag is inside the input drumn its either the forward sprag or the forward clutches went bad or the piston broke depending on what yr 60e it is. UH yeah lol I see this all the time I build these evryday lol. unfortunatley to fix that you will need a rebuild. to verify if you pull it down to manual low and it goes forward then the forward sprag is bad because the ovverun clutches will come on in manual 1st and give you a weak forward. you may also have broken the low roller clutch which only runs low gear. I am located in Mt. Dora, fl Lake county. right below ocala next to seminole and orange county.

    60e is from a 1997 k1500. funny thing is though previous owner claims was rebuilt. i dont drive much at all. ive probley put 4000 miles on it during the one year that i have owned this truck. torque converter looked new. everything down there showed signs like it had been worked. and it S**t on me like this. but anyways how much do you charge to do a 60e rebuild i will remove it and probley ship it to you or just haul it down there. im in the destin area. trans was probley rebuilt in pensacola i would assume by mr transmission. never had too good luck with them.
