Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Trucks / August 200497 S-10 Blazer - auto transmission problem?
Yesterday I decided to change the auto transmission fluid/filter on my 97 Blazer After doing that, when starting from a stop with the vehicle in 'D', the transmission is in high gear. I can manually shift to first gear to start off, but that is actually second gear. I can move the shift lever to D once started, and the vehicle will upshift. I can also get the vehicle to downshift by depressing the accelerator(although not to 1st gear) Any idea what the heck happened?

I can't remember what years they had the deep and shallow pans on those vehicles, but you might want to double check that. The filters are a different size, and if you happened to have a deep pan, and installed a shallow pan filter, you might end up with some weird things happening. This is just a guess, mind you. Ian sometimes it's real hard to tell the correct fluid level with new fluid.....assuming you know the proper check method my 1¢ worths ==============(concerning transmissions) Jul 25, 2004, 8:32pm (CDT-2) From: flakey714@webtv.net (ken) writ : sometimes it's real hard to tell the correct fluid level with new fluid.....assuming you know the proper check method my 1¢ worths ==========================How I check AutoTrans Fluid levels......... I check trans fluid levels with the vehical running, and the trans in revearse..........well .....most of the time. sometimes......... i shut the vehical off and jump out real quick and yank the stick to git a reading. sometimes........ i pull the speedometer gear out to check the level. sometimes........ i pull a bolt out the side of the tranny and jest fill er up till the fluid comes pouring out the hole. sometimes....... i pull a bolt out the side of the tranny PAN..... and fill er up till the fluid comes pouring out the hole. sometimes....... i fill er up till fluid comes pouring out the vent tube........but that's usually cuz i jest burnt a hooter and i'm not pay'n attention to what i'm doing. but for the most part........i check it with the engine running and the trans in revearse with the wheels turning.
