I have a 96 Blazer with the same problem if i put it in overdrive you can hear the starter trying to engage as if you where trying to start it i am wondering if it is the neutral safety switch.

I was working on my Blazer tonight and found the problem i was having when i put in overdrive and my starter was engaging after tearing my dash all apart and going through all my wiring i decided let me check my neutral safety switch on the tranny i unpluged both plugs and checked them all looked good so i plug them back in and it stopped doing it it was fine again so tommorow i will by a new switch. so if anyone runs across this problem check your neutral safety switch. I am glad a came across this Blazer forum lots of great info. Thanks[sm=icon_rock.gif]
