S10's with overdrive have a circle around the D icon on the instrument cluster. And of course you can feel it go into overdrive and the RPMs drop.

 

Ok bud, good luck with the repair of your blazer.

 

Took it to a great mechanic. No codes. Could not really say the problem. Took it to AAMCO today. Did not initially understand that I had replaced the solenoids. Mechanic drove it around was able to manually get it in all 4 gears. Wanted to keep it overnight to pull the pan and look around, probably at the electrical. It was working fine until I replaced 3 quarts of fluid without a flush so I really don't know about the validity of coincidence of changing the fluid culminating in an electrical malfunction. When I did change the solenoids by dropping the pan I did not touch any electrical other than for the solenoids.
Diagnosis = AAMCO guy said 95% new (rebuilt) transmission with labor for $3300. I can get a rebuilt for $670 with a 3 year guarantee. I think I will start there and seek out the labor.

 

Did you happen to do anything else on your truck the day you changed your fluid? Specifically anything with/around the throttle body? The trans uses inputs from the Throttle Position Sensor and if the TPS got damaged/shorted/etc it can put the truck into limp mode.

 

No. Did not touch the throttle body.

 

is that a local place that is giving you a rebuilt tran NY for 670? Im still looking at my options. I was quoted 1800 for the whole job to rebuild and install and I need to find cheaper or else I'm likely to call it quits.

 

I was quoted 3200 to 3900 for a rebuild. I don't think so!
if you Google got all auto parts you can read reviews. The ones from the BBB aren't all that good. But they do a lot of business so you're going to get some gripes no matter what.

I had the same issue with one a few years ago turned out to be a broken wire on the harness down to the tranny

 

Was the wire down to the transmission or inside the transmission harness? There were no OBD codes. Aamco offered to drop the pan for $280 to be applied to the $3267 if I need a new transmission. I guess it would be money well-spent if it was just a wire but I certainly would not pay parts and labor for their rebuilt transmission.

 

I would just get a rebuilt one or one from a junk yard and swap it myself. Not that hard just time consuming
