At first I thought I may have burned up my transmission at the beach last weekend. I drove it pretty hard out there. My step brother, who owns a '99 S10 with the 4.3 Vortec, said it sounds like it may be the torque converter, and or the pump, as it will drive fine {for five minutes} til it gets hot and won't want to shift into 2nd gear, or any gear for that matter. It just loses all power to the tranny. Before I blow big money on a replacement trans, I want to know if any of you guys here have had or heard of this problem. Note that my Blazer is a '96 4x4, though the vacuum issue left me with 2WD the whole time.

 

No one?

 

does the fluid smell burnt, when was the last time you change the filter in the transmission

 

Yes and.. My dad told me that long ago. Infact I have the filter he bought for it. Now my question is, is the transmission okay? I'll change out the filter in a bit, but my fear is the damage may already be done.

 

Oh yeah. And thank you =^.^=

 

Change it, and you will see..
