Is your fluid brown instead of red? and does it smell burnt? If so, you probabily need a new 3-4 clutch pack. I had the same problem with the same tranny (also 4WD), after replacing these clutches on 5/30/05 the problem was solved.
on the right side of the transmission above the pan is an electrical connector on the 4L60E and on the 700R4 there is a cable. this cable is the downshift cable which controls shift points which are electronic on the 4L60E

The modulator is located just above the starter on the side of the transmission, it has a vacuum hose attached to it. The solenoid is located in the transmission, you have to remove the transmission pan to remove it.
yesAnswerSurely it will NOT. 94 V8 Automatic needs 94-97 V8 Transmission from Camaro, Firebird or Caprice (4L60E). AnswerFor you above me.. the v6 and v8 share a 4L60E transmission... YES they will fit. The auto is kept in check by the rear gear... The 4L60E is nothing more than a 4L60E
A transmission shift solenoid is found inside the transmission housing. Replacing the unit depends on the vehicle, some allow access underneath the car while others the solenoids can be reach from above the transmission.
Sits behind the transmission above the steering rack.
A solenoid is a component that controls a great many different things on a car.If you have one inside the transmission leaking, this one is supposed to seal or release a system in side the transmission and the seal portion can go bad.If we are talking about the starter solenoid, it has no oil to leak. If it looks like it is then we have 1 of two problems.The solenoid has gotten much to hot and the insulation inside has melted, separated and dripped out.There is something above it leaking and dripping on it.
Depending on what year/engine/transmission you have the driver side of the case has plugs for the neutral safety switch, input and output speed sensors and the solenoid harness.
drop the pan, then the valve body, the solenoid is above that
It is located above the pan in the transmission. There are two identical solenoids located beside one another, Solenoid A and Solenoid B, and if I remember correctly from when I changed mine out it is located toward the front of the transmission. They are small, rectangle shaped and are both held in with clips. I didn't know which was which, so I just replaced them both while I was at it. They run around $20 apiece at your local auto parts store.
This condition sounds like the transmission locking solenoid is bad. Condition is similar to having a frozen clutch except this is an automatic. To test, unplug the the wire connector to the solenoid on the transmission. If the problem clears up, then the solenoid is bad and not the tranny. You can drive it with the solenoid unpluged with only a minor impact to fuel economy at higher speeds (above 40 mph).
I could be wrong but what it sounds like to me is what is called the servo covers located just above the trans pan on the right hand side
