Common problems with the 4T65E are as follows: Solenoid failures: The transmission is controlled by electrical solenoids that receive a signal from the computer telling it when to shift. Over time the solenoids will burn up and fail. Overheating the transmission helps contribute to early solenoid failure.

Installing a shift improver kit can also help cure this problem.

No fourth gear: The cause of this problem is the splines wearing off the clutch hub shaft. Later model transmissions were equipped with hardened shafts that help reduce the occurrence of this problem. No movement in any gear: This is usually a bad sign and most likely will require the transmission to be removed and rebuilt. Causes range from a broken input shaft, broken drive chain/sprocket, low fluid level, clogged filter and stripped converter splines to a broken input clutch drum shaft. No reverse: Common causes of this problem are a blown sealing lip on the reverse servo, worn reverse booster valve/sleeve or a partially blown channel plate gasket.
