Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Express 1500 owners report experiencing issues with transmission slipping, which can prevent the vehicle from moving even after a new transmission installation. This serious problem can lead to lasting damage if not addressed promptly. Owners have noted that factors such as misaligned throttle position sensors, malfunctioning shift solenoids, or general wear and tear may contribute to gear shifting issues. Additionally, slipping may manifest as the transmission unexpectedly going into neutral, resulting in a lack of movement or delayed acceleration despite pressing the accelerator pedal. If the Express fails to move in drive, it could indicate faulty components within the transmission system or elsewhere in the vehicle. A thorough inspection of the transmission system, including gears, shift cable, and related parts, is recommended to diagnose and resolve these issues effectively.
