    2 isn't 2nd, or is it?

    probably an easy one for the specialists on here:

    i got the stock 4l60e, when it's in 2 it takes off in first, then changes to 2nd. can the tranny be reprogrammed so it'll actually take off in 2nd? or is that a job for a shift kit? would be nice in the wet or in the cold. my only tool for that right now would be a hpp3.
    any thoughts?

    tranny

    im not an expert but i think you would have to do a manual valve body to start in 2nd. but that is kinda old school, with that being a computer controlled tranny there may be a way to do it electronically. hopefully somebody with more knowledge on the subject will chime in.

    Some cars have second gear start capability others do not. Its a programming not a hardware issue. A shift kit other than a full manual "no electronics" will not allow for a second gear start either .

    i see...
    so that means it can be reprogrammed? would this be a tranny shop issue, or could it be done with a handheld programmer like the hpp3?

    I think the 2000 starts in second when in 2, so the newer cars do this.

    The 98 has a different computer than the 2000.
