Default 2021 Blazer RS transmission fluid change

Hello, can someone lead me into changing the transmission fluid? I can’t find anything online how to go about it. Thank you 🙏

Should be the same as a Traverse, as long as it is a 9-speed. Problems, or just maintenance? I have heard these are finnicky transmissions.

Problems, it hesitates at 1500 rpms. I read online to change the transmission oil to see if it would go away. Thank you for replying.

Is it shifting funny? If fluid burnt from slipping and/or getting hot? Trans shifting is controlled electrically by the computer and solenoids. Tell me more about your issue and I'll see what I can find.

It shifts just fine, the only problem is that shudder at 1500 rpms. I did check the transmission oil and it looks dark and smells burnt. The shudder always happens when accelerating only.

Well I suppose that damage might already be done if fluid is burnt and dark. I suppose that all you can do yourself is to change the fluid and see if it helps any. Sorry! If it does fix it, please let us know.
