A bit more info would be useful. Do you mean the shifter won't move? Or do you mean you put it in gear and it doesn't move?

Help us help you with as much info as you can provide.

Did the torque converter come out at all when you had them separated? If so, are you sure you got it back in properly? Check this thread and look at the pump tangs when it's not put in right.

The way to tell if it's the pump, pull the top tranny cooler hose, attach a hose to the end and put the other end into a container. Start the engine and see if you have a good steady stream.

Even with the connector disconnected, it will go into a gear as a default mode to get you home.

yes. the torque converter separated but seemed to lock back into place nicely .. I will check the pump flow if the electrical turns out to be ok.. thanks for the advice! I'll will post whatever i come up with .. So fluid should pump out of the top line if its in park or does it have to be in gear?

Also check for codes, which would show up with electrical issues to the tranny.

And correction for the flow check. It's the lower line that goes into the radiator unless you have a connector you can use at the top one from the radiator. Fluid comes out of the top one from the radiator. Just like in this video where it starts:

Ah yes. I hate that we can't see the title at the top of the thread :duh:

It should still go into limp home mode. Maybe the fuse too. I'd check all the electrical and then flow if still not working.

For information the 4L60E 20 Pin Plug Connector .... Here is a Color Wiring Diagram showing the PCM Pin-Outs:


The Red Circle Location is where the 20 Pin Plug is situated on the Passenger Side of the 4L60E Transmission. It only requires an "EZ PZ Squeezy" on the Two lined-knurled Flat Tabs ... then it lifts upwards... No Twisting Involved Here:

Turns out it’s the transmission pump rotor . Who’s a good supplier for transmission parts that will ship to Hawaii ?

That kind of part, might have to go to the dealer. Others may chime in.
