Just curious how long some of your 95-96 trannies take to actually engage from shifting from Reverse to Drive?..mine takes about 6 long seconds,which seems forever when someones waiting behind me to get my **** moving!

 

shouldnt be that long. As soon as you put it in gear it should go in gear.

 

Bad solenoids possible ?

 

most times it shifts in under 2seconds,but still when pulling out of a busy parking lot with someone waiting to take my spot i get paranoid with the seeminly unneccessary pausing from these waitfulshifting changes.

Are these selonoids inside or outsidetransmision? take off drain pan to access?

 

How's the condition of the transmission fluid?

 

If it ends up being a bad or slow solenoid they are inside of the transmission under the fluid pan. But before doing that make sure that you have gone through all of the options, first I would try what Drperry sugg. and check the quality of the fluid.

 

Depending on the condition of the fluid you might just need a fluid and filter change. How many miles on the Blazer and has it had any tranny maintainance??

 

As usual, many helpful giants here,the oil is just a slightly faded red,but i think i'm just going to go switch that filter out&enjoya good ol fashion facial oil washing.

 

lol, it's gotta be done once and awhile... and besides... It's always better to start with the cheap fixes first!
