HELP Immediatly 6L80 shifter dead

[uh6tdrvr]

its a 09 sliverado with the 6L80 and it starts but now when you put it in gear it doesnt change. The selector goes into the normal slots (reversen nuetral, Drive and manual with no change in the transmission. Of course i am not at home and my son is driving it. Any suggestions???? also it wont change from 2wd to 4wd either.

This might be a dumb question.... Any chance the pan was hit and the fluid ran out?

[uh6tdrvr]

no, fluid is good. electronicly it wont move from park but the lever moves, it wont even go from 2 to 4hi or 4 low

Check fuses?

[uh6tdrvr]

yep, everything looked good at least the best that a 17 year old can do. I guess I will find out in the morning, its going on the tow truck and to the stealership (barf)

Sorry man, I know that sucks.... When I was 17 I just might of drove the truck off into the woods over rough terrain LOL let us know what it was !! Good Luck !!

Shift Cable. I thought it was completely drive by wire but the cable is the culprit. Still doesnt make sense that it would not go from 2 to 4wd but whatever. 550 dollar education I guess, That part bites!

Did he rip it out driving over something? LOL just kidding, well better than the cost of trans work !!

Mine fell off my '08 while I was in the Dr.'s office, literally, came out started the truck and pull the shifter down and nothing. I call a tow truck and while was underneath it securing it to his truck he saw the cable off the side of the trans, he popped it back on and I gave him a $50.00 bill to take it off the truck. Still working so far.

Yeah, drive by wire is only regarding the throttle plate operation. If I recall the newer truck had programming that would only allow you to shift into 4wd while the trans was in any gear except Park. That would explain why you couldn't shift into 4wd. That is only what I've read somewhere so if that's not correct I apologize.
