trany
 

Hey guys the trany on my 83 s-10 blazer 4x4 automatic wouldnt shift any higher than 2nd so i pulled the pan to see if i might have burnt up the clutches but the fluid is still red and there is no shavings in the pan or filter, what should i look at next?

RE: trany
 

i had the same problem for my 2000 but it ended up being the sun shell. after replacing it no more probs tho. usually if its the sun shell the truck will have no reverse or 3 or 4th depending on what else broke.

RE: trany
 

This maybe a stupid question but i dont now alot about tranny's, whats a sun shell?

RE: trany
 

When a reaction sun shell goes, it takes out reverse, 2nd, and 4th gears. The reaction sun shell is a hard part inside the transmission. Unless you want to get into the gritty details, I will leave it at that.

ya youyr tranny is done ive had the same problems just ended up buying a used one and had no more problems. i found a used one for 200

RE: trany
 

Well I dropped the trans pan and there was know shavings or anything in the pan and the trans fluid was nice and red, which is making me believe that its something else. Any more suggestions?

RE: trany
 

mine is having the exact same problems. i am in the process of looking for a master rebuild kit and the sun shell. not all sure what i need to get. since i dont know a lot about trannys either, i dont know what all i should try to find in the rebuild kit. anyone care to help?
