Hello, I'm Danny.

The transmission will definitely need to be removed and be rebuilt. Having the transmission rebuilt will be a lot less then having a new one installed.Most transmission shops have plenty of your transmissions ready to go (4L60E or the 4L80E) So it can usually be done in an 8 hour day. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Just happened today, cranked truck, put from P into R to back out, briefly engaged and moved about a foot in reverse before I hear a pretty loud noise from underneath. Something either broke... or disconnected. Tran immediately disengaged. I have no reverse ... when I select it I hear a high-pitched whine. Still have full function P and all forward gears.
Will still only crank in P or N. Fluid ok.
Internal? ... or any chance something less major?
Thanks a lot.
