Well glad it worked out for you...you were probably right..a partially restricted filter, low fluid, missing seals...could have been any of them.

Ah, but with the transmission holding in gear, a new problem was uncovered, and resolved this morning. I will post symptom and solution in another thread. Engine related.

Keith, Your message was very useful and timely for me. My 99 Blazer had been experiencing shifting irregularities for several weeks, and today the problem became severe... when starting in 'Drive' position, the car would start out in 3rd or 4th gear, and continued to do so after repeated stops/starts. I assumed the worst, but did a Google search, found your message (first on the list), disconnected the battery, and 15 minutes later the transmission was operating perfectly.
Thanks for the tip

Motoroller,
Glad it helped you with your transmission problem. It's amazing that it was that simple, wasn't it?

To bad it didn't work for you. It worked for me for about 2 years but with 180K it's time to replace the tranny. If you are mechanically inclined, you can get a rebuilt tranny (with 3 year warranty) for around $1200 and put it in yourself. That's what I did. If not, I would find a mechanic that will replace the tranny for you. I wouldn't recommend having a tranny shop repair it. Just read all the horror stories here about repaired trannys. Good luck, Keith

my jimmy has 168000 and sometimes the trans will shift perfectly and others it wont a trans repair shop said that it is an electrical prob. low voltage and i checked that out when it was acting up and i was definately under the 12 volts i was supposed to have i would like to try putting a jumper wire with 12 volts into the trans system and see what happens but i also hate to burn something out

A fresh battery and or a new altenator usually takes care of that problem. if its still there...replace the cables and make sure you have a good ground.

1997 4L60E tied to a 4.3 liter engine. My problem is when tranny is cool it shifts fine from 2nd to 3rd. However after driving for a few miles it sometimes will not shift out of 2nd to 3rd. New valve body fluids and filter. Any ideas?
