When I put the Blazer in reverse, it takes a second to go into reverse, then goes in, then it goes out and back and fourth. If I put the transmission into netural for ~20 seconds and then back into reverse, it works a lot better.

* There was plenty of fluid in the transmission and it did have a sort of red color to it It is my guess that the fluid had not been changed at all or only once.

* It goes into drive just fine, but I did not take the thing out on the road and see how it did because of the loose rod.

* She said it did sit for a while, how long IDK. Would that play a factor?

Thank You

those trannys are the same ones on the b-body caprices and they are junk but that does not sound norm. should not be doing that take it to a tranny shop and see what they have to say

Crap

I will drop the fluid and filter and do that 2 times and go from there.

Yep, those 4L60-e trannys are absolute GARBAGE. they usually completely fail ~100k

Well, I am going to try and bring it abck to life It does go into gear, and once the motor runs for a few mins, it works better

a swap i see done in the b-body area is the 4l80E tranny swaped in from the trucks, its a much better tranny maybe some thing to think about in the future.

They'll last longer than that......I have one in my other truck.....Got 129K WELL BEATEN towing a 22' boat with a V6 auto full size chevy miles out of my trans.....plus when I wasn't towing i was full throttle **** cannin' that thing.....Finally one night I kicked'er and it downshifted to first and blew out the sungear. Which is the common failure asside from a TC.

To me it sounds like your sungear is going. They have a new updated one for less than 150 bux I think....but you have to totally rip the trans apart to replace it.

some were just duds and would go out at 100K

yeah, from what i've heard, the ones in the b bodies had alot completely fail at 100k.
