No overdrive? Why is that? When was fluid last changed? Where is the fluid level at?

And what is at 35psi?

Did you delete overdrive? Or it won't engage 4th? 700r4, 4l60?

No I did not it just stopped going into 4th from what I understand the pressure at governor should be 65 psi for it to shift into 4th gear but not sure of that I thought maybe something could be clogged up some where or the shift solenoid's are not working right

Was this issue present before fluid was changed? Was the pan dropped when you changed fluid, or was it just a system flush?

I dropped the pan to do a fluid and filter change and some times it would shift and others it would not that why I changed the filter and fluid it only has 101k on the clock I just put my second set of tire on it two weeks ago so I don't beat on it.

Huh. How much clutch fluid was in the pan? Any shavings? What fluid did you use?

Codes? It's a 4l60e meaning electric shifting you need factory service manuals or a 4l60e service guide which can be found on some transmission supply sites. Good Luck..
