01 Silverado no "kick in"

My 2001 silverado is sick...when I'm running about 50 mph and try to kick in the passing gear all that happens is my rpms shoot up sky high but no gear change happens...any ideas? Thanks!

I guess slipping tranny. That's how mine is getting (4l60e) on the higher side of the rpm range. Slips and revs run up.

2nd-4th gear clutch packs are going south.
Probably could get a few more miles out of it if you drive it easy.

Here in Phoenix I used to have a deal worked for a rebuilt 4l60e installed for 600$ I know I know it's an inferior tranny but I got 60k out of it so it made sense to me. I need a 4l60e tho.
