Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
4L60-E burnt 3-4 clutch pack
Low line pressure and/or leaks of 3rd gear oil are the root cause of most 3-4 slipping.
Small leaks at several points in the circuit can add up to enough pressure loss to allow slipping.
What to do
- Test the 3rd accumulator checkball capsule for leakage; a leaking capsule is a leading cause of 3-4 clutch failure.
- Whenever a burnt clutch pack is found, inspect all three circuits methodically to find and eliminate all leaks.
- Thicker heavy-duty backing plates that eliminate clutch pack flex are available in the aftermarket.
Caution: An obvious leak such as a cracked apply piston should not stop further investigation.

A cause or a result a complaint states is the owner’s view or what a dealer told them, not an established fact.
