SOURCE: 104,000 miles transmission issue
The trans in your vehicle is a 4L30E.The check,and fill plugs are in the pan.The fluid has to be checked after the vehicle is fully warmed up,engine running,in Park.The hard to shift into 2nd gear is kind of difficult to say,check the level,maybe have it scanned for trouble codes esp. if check engine is lit.Those particular transmissions have one weak area,and thats the Low gear,or first gear band and drum.That causes a symptom of slip and chatter on takeoff from a complete stop.

there is no dipstick or filling ports in the engine bay. underneath the car near the valve boby pan there are 2 bolts, one for draining the trans., and one for filling the trans. this is not the easiest of repairs and it is quite messy. drop cloths or some kind of catch would be wise. first drain the pan by removing the lower bolt. allow the fluid to completely drain and reinsert bolt. next remove the larger (valve body) pan. there is a filter that you will see is held in place by 3 bolts, remove filter and replace with new one. clean mating surfaces of all debris and fluids. next apply the gasket to the pan you just removed and cleaned. fill the empty pan with about 3-4 quarts of new ATF. a second pair of hands here is recommended. together realign pan to trans. careful not to spill fluid! apply a few bolts to allow for free hands. insert all bolts DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN BOLTS! this is very important, only tighten bolts until gasket just starts to squish. over tighten and you risk a new leak.
now the messy pain in the **** part. in oder to check fluid level, you need to have car parked on level ground. remove the upper bolt from the pan you just reapplied. You will need some sort of pump and a few feet of hose to complete the filling process. fill until fluid runs back out the hole, quickly insert bolt, tighten to specs. and wipe exterior of pan to see for any new leaks.
this should solve any trans. slips do to ATF seepage.
best of luck

The place to start would be to pull diagnostic codes.If I was going to guess i would say a bad output speed sensor.Almost any trans code stored will inhibit fourth gear so guessing is tough.Good luck.

Hello,
I know you just had a new transmission put in but my first suggestion would be to check the level of transmission fluid. However this transmission is "sealed" and must be checked from a little plug on the back of the transmission. If you pull it and fluid comes out then it is full. There is a transmission cooler on your truck and this should keep it cool if your level is full. The transmission fluid in your truck is recommended to use a synthetic fluid so perhaps inquire to the person who installed your transmission and make sure they used this. Not using a friction additive in the transmission fluid can and will make the plates overheat. You could have an issue with the sensor as well but I would suggest that you take the truck back to the person who installed the transmission right away and let them addresses it. You should have a 3 year warranty on it.
regards,
Tony

Often a valve body is not part of a rebuild, But what happens is metal particles sometimes get into the valve body and damage it by scoring. Then it would need to be replaced.
