Thread: 4t65e does not go into park

Hi,
So i rebuild a 4t65e coming out of a 2000 volvo s80. I put it back together and it does not want to go into park. It goes into R,N,D and one more click after, but not in P, with the shift linkage or without (by manually moving the shift shaft).
any way of diagnosing this and possibly fixing it without a complete overhaul?
Thanks to all.

Please post in the correct section.

Sorry Matt, but it appears i posted under Pontiac Grand Prix Forums : Grandprix > W Body Tech > Transmissions > 1997 to current 4 speed Automatic (4T65E) (4T65E-HD) , which i think should be the right section for a 2000 4t65e.

Matt already moved it to the correct forum I believe
He is a moderator so he has the ability to move threads into the correct forum

You'll get a much faster response by just emailing trannyman95 or PM'ing him.

From TEP's website

This is why it pays to do research first
That is if the OP was planning on putting this in a grand prix

Hi, thanks guys. I was planning on putting it back into the s80.
Currently, it spins reverse in reverse and forward in n and d, and won't go into p.
Best Regards

Basically you guys invented the whole putting it into a grand prix part.

OP, very very few people on here know anything about how these transmissions work.

We just tend to know the common issues, this isn't one hence the lack of useful responses.

Contact him. He knows these transmissions very well.

Thanks Matt. I've sent Dave an email.

Hi I have a general issue too.
Is there a reliable way to bench test a transmission? In case i do have to overhaul, can i test it before i put it back in? Trust me that volvo s80 is full choc-a-bloc below the hood, so much that the battery is actually in the trunk.

Hi grudev.
I have same trouble on 2003 Buick Rendezvous CX AWD. Transmission is 4T65E too.
Are you find the answer or the solution?
