Hello, I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado with a 4L60E that has 2001 parts on it so I call it a 2001 and a half. I am hoping to find a solution for my transmission problem. It has had 4 transmissions in it since it was bought new. Its on its 4th now and about 3 years ago it started shifting hard after about 20 miles of driving. Going around town its fine but after being on a high way or interstate for about 20 or so miles it starts it, I can shut it off for a few minutes and turn it back on and it will shift like it should for a while. Sometimes it wont do it no matter how long I drive but its rare. I took it to a transmission guy who said he 'Bored out the valve body' to stop the problem. It only softened the shifts when it does it, but it still does it. I am starting college Sept 1 and the school is about 20 min away. I don't want to have to put another transmission in it while I'm commuting back and forth. So if you have an idea on what the problem is please let me know, thank you.
