I have a 98 blazer that has 65K miles and it just began shifting very hard after driving it for an extended period of time (usually 45 minutes or more). If I am on the highway, whenever I exit, it always shifts hard going into every gear. Does anyone have any comments on the transmission?
Other problems I have had:
Front Windshield wiper motor AND circuit board.
Front Hub assembly, passenger side was replaced 3 times by the previous owner and once by myself and its making noise again.
Rear wiper is currently working when it wants to.
Recline lever on the passenger seat broke off.
Oil lines were replaced.
Lumbar adjustment is broken.
Door is sagging slightly. You can see the paint wearing away.
Great comfort and nice and roomy. Good power out of the 4.3L engine.
My advice dont buy a Blazer! And if you do, buy mine!
The reason why it is shifting hard is becuase you will need a transmission rebuild. It will set you back about $2,000.
An easy fix for transmission. Trans GO makes a kit to fix the shift problem. it cost about 40 dollars on ebay or go to transgo.com. this is a notorious problem for that transmission.
My 98' Blazer 4x4 had the same hard shifting problem. It was a bad valve in the transmission case. The problem was fixed for about $100.00 labor and all.
Just put lucas trans oil in it it should fix every thing.
