97 auto 4R70W 4.2 crazy problems and sensors?
I have been without my truck now for 5 months.
Christmas Day is suppose to be 60 degrees, so I am going to go under the truck and drain the tranny and check out if any metal or sludge is in it. I could make this a really long story, as its almost comical. Had engine rebuilt for 5K and the Tranny rebuilt for 2K and put tons of money into different parts where everything is sorta new. While in CT, it started slipping and My service guy put some lucas slip stuff in and it was fine. I guess either a wiring harness or solenoid was replaced awhile back. I drive all the way to TN with no problems and after a while, it started slipping. Guy towed my truck and said I needed a new starter and its all fixed. I picked it up and while it started much better, as soon as I drove out it would not leave first gear. I went back and we drained fluid from tranny and put more lucas in. I lost the reverse, and had to be careful how I parked. I had another guy look at it and he replaced my tranny coolant lines and things were nice. I did have to press the button on the shifter, like I was towing something, but it was fine. So now the truck will only go into reverse and no forward gears. I really feel like its an electrical issue and not that My tranny is bad (gears) but taking off the pan will help me to determine that somewhat. Ive looked at photos but just wish I knew if I could do a continuity test or something with my sensors to tell if they are good or bad ??? thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated.

There is NO electrical part that could keep it from having any forward gears. It's something mechanical inside the trans. Taking the pan off and checking might be fun, but it won't help determine what broke. To do that the trans has to come out and get torn down.

forward clutch has failed, time to rebuild or replace transmission.
