1996 suburban shift problems
ok , I've read alot here and now I actually have to ask for help. On my 96 Suburban w/ auto tranny 460le it would shift from 1st to 2nd, but not from 2nd to 3rd. I changed the transmission fluid & filter and the 1-2 , 2-3 shift solenoids and I am having the same problem still . there was a check engine code that i got on a reader that said O2 sensor . My question is would an O2 sensor cause a shift issue? and if so which sensor would that be? also there was minimal sludge on the magnet in the pan and no slippage and all other gears work. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 1996 suburban shift problems
Does it stay in 2nd when it should into 3rd or does it shift into neutral instead of 3rd.
Could be a stuck 2-3 shift valve or bad wiring to the solenoids. Another possibility is the bad servo seal. //2000CAYukon

Re: 1996 suburban shift problems
Your '96 has the OBDll system. Really need to get a scanner capable of getting into the tranny system module for DTC's and look for both active and history codes. If you can do that and there are codes stored please post them back to us. (Most over the counter scanners cannot read the tranny.)
An O2 sensor, in my opinion, would not cause this tranny problem. Also need to have the DTC for the O2 sensor to help with that.

Re: 1996 suburban shift problems
I should have said "that is feel like neutral". It could also be a failed 3/4 clutch pack which requires a rebuild.

Re: 1996 suburban shift problems
Also, when the problem happens, shift into neutral, rev the engine once and then shift back into OD. Does that make it shift into 3rd?

Re: 1996 suburban shift problems
went out and checked fluid this morning and it seemed high on the dipstick even though after I closed up the pan I only put in 2.5 quarts I am wondering if there is something that would keep the fluid from getting down to the pan like a pump or something ( it also seemed like only three quarts came out when I dropped the pan.) thanks in advance guys One more question. What does the force motor do?
