Default 1993 S-10 Hard shifting from 1st to2nd gear

Hello My 1993 S-10 Blazer hard shifts from 1st to 2nd I have change the trans. filter ,fluid and replace the trans. mount but i notice that the trans. bolts are missing from the trans. to the mount. Would this cause the hard shifting? P.S and it sometimes hard shift from park to drive and from park to reverse

You may be feeling the drivetrain shift while the transmission changes gears. Get that bolted down properly and then see if the problem persists.

Shifting hard? not really a bad thing! Shifting LATE and HARD? Maybe something a sign
of thing's going south.
Is this shift issue new? how long have you owned your truck?

Question

I am having trouble lining up the tranny mount to the cross member. When I attached the the mount to the trannt it's off to the left about 1/8 to 1/16 inches ( using the front as a point of ref.) I kept the old mount, tried it same results

Yes. This has been going on about 1 1/2 to 2 Months I have had the truck about 4 years

I have 98 model and engine light came on with a code (cant member #) took it to a tranny place and they replaced a solenoid/valve type thing. the whole problem started with hard shifting between 1st and 2nd gear

If it is off to the left or right, just push the transmission over until it drops in. It should be able to move a bit to line up.

Art, please start a new thread in the appropriate tech section for your problem. As these two years are quite different in transmission controls, it would be best to keep these two issues separate.
