    4l60e 3-2 downshift bind

    Hi, i was wondering if anybody could help me, I have recently rebuit my 4l60e and added a 3500 stall converter.
    My problem is that when the transmission kicks back to 2nd at higher rpms it seems to bind for a split second.
    Is there an adjustment in hp tuners that i could tune this out or is it a mechanical problem, the transmission kicks back to second at lower speeds with no problem and shifts fine through all the gears.
    The car is a vx clubsport 5.7.
    If anyone could help it would be great , id rather ask if someone has any experience with this type of problem, cheers.

    As far as I know, there's nothing you can screw up in a tune file to make it try to engage two gears at the same time. Also don't know of any wiring/electrical things that can cause that.

    Texted my transmission guy. Said it is likely an issue with the 2-4 band. Said he would have to drive it to be sure. May want to take it to a local reputable shop.
