Well, yeah, there are bolts on the top of the transmission...

That guide is the process for removing the transmission from a 4x4 truck...  The biggest difference is, your truck being newer, you won't have the linkages to the transfer case that Tim (hanr3) speaks of in that thread.

The transfer case will be taken off as described in the How-To. 

About your problem, you most likely are experiencing the aftermath of a stripped reaction sun shell.  This is used in reverse, 2nd, & 4th.  This thread should help: 4L60E Tranny Rebuild Thread

ok so most likely the sun shell, how about this one? do i need to buy anything else for it or just this?

That looks like a pretty good part there!! I like how it says the beast of all 4l60e tranni parts!!

I do not know the mileage on the transmission in your truck, but personally, if it has over 75k miles of unknown use/abuse, I would do a full rebuild.  You could just replace the sun shell and all of the seals/o-rings that were removed in the process.  That is up to you.

ok well what rebuild kit would you guys reccommend? one that will have everything i need.

ok well i was looking at my tranny and i have a question, there is a part between my tranny and the transfer case, its about 4inches wide and goes all around. should i take that off with the tranny or leave it on? 

ok 1 other question, there is a bolt right under the transfer case, when u take it out a spring comes out with this blue plastic piece that goes with it. Well that fell out, and i wanted to know if  the blue plastic piece goes on top of the spring or on the bottom inside the bolt??

As far as rebuild kits, anything high energy should be good.  I believe that MonsterTrans.com has a master rebuild kit as should any parts store that you should have close. 

About the transfer case, you only need to pull the ring of bolts that face towards the transfer case after following through with the steps in the how-to.  You should then be able to remove the transfer case.

About what you removed...  No clue what it is you are talking about.  Picture maybe?  Show the part you are talking about and where you took it out of...?

alright ill try to get a pic tomorrow. but i really want to thank you swartlkk, u have really helped me with all this. Thanks!


also, should i replace my tourqe converter?

I wouldn't think you would have to replace your torque converter!!

You don't have to, but I wouldn't even think twice about it.  With my luck, the torque converter would go bad the day after I got it all put back together.  Just make sure that you get the proper torque converter and match it up with the original.  Don't want what happened to Tim (hanr3) to happen to you as well!
